Nose
In its aroma, we can discover refreshing grape and elderflower, complemented by ripe yellow apple and quince notes.
Palate
Upon tasting, the characteristic fresh, fragrant, grape-like qualities of Muscat Blanc dominate, all paired with excellent acidity-sugar balance. It offers a full-bodied, substantial sip with a moderately long, tight finish.
Growing Conditions
Mezőzombor - Galambos vineyard
The soil is typically brown forest soil, but there are
loess spots in it. The subsoil is rhyolite, which is almost completely covered with rhyolite tuff.
Tarcal - Terézia vineyard
The soil is an optimal blend of loess and brown
forest soil, which has similar subsoil to Galambos, but it rests on a perlite cone.
The vineyards were replanted between 1999 and 2010, using 1,8 m and 2 m row spacing and 0,8 m between the vines according to the modern grape growing technology. We use 2 bud spur-pruning and the yield control is 1,5 kg / vine. All of our vineyards are under organic cultivation since 2009.
Due to the cool, erratic spring in 2023, the grapevines budded a few days later compared to the average of previous years. Throughout the summer, the region experienced hectic, extremely humid weather conditions, posing challenges for viticulturists. Occasionally, unusually cold mornings ensured slow ripening for the grapes. In the autumn, a record-breaking Indian summer set in, followed by intense rainfall at the end of the month. Thanks to the humid, rainy weather, botrytis developed early and extensively, allowing us to produce a significant amount of sweet wine in this vintage.
Harvest
In the middle of September we harvested technically mature, healthy grape bunches for our off-dry, organic Muscat Blanc wine.
Winemaking
After 1 hours of soaking the grapes, the crashed must is pressed in pneumatic tank press, fermented using organic selected yeast in stainless steel tanks then we filled in bottles.
Food Pairing
Perfect as aperitif. Pairs excellently with salads with vinegar dressing, as well as with grilled poultry with herbs. Essential for late dinners during summertime.
