Winemaking
The bunches harvested in boxes on 2nd October were destemmed, and the must was kept with skin contact in cool conditions for one day. The pure must from the gentle pressing was allowed to settle for another day and then we added the cultured yeast and we fermented it at 18-20°C in 225-l in used oak barrels. Racked once.
Wine tasting
“Very youthful, the fermentation aromas are practically perceptible, yeastiness. In spite of this the character of Hárslevelű virtually totally breaks through with complete cleanness already. A touch of linden blossom honey, charming spiciness. Superb structure, outstanding acidity, liveliness to the end in the mouth. This is 100 % Hárslevelű. Long, substantial and elegant all at once.” (Mészáros Gabriella)
