Palate
Fine and persistent bubbles, unfurling notes of raspberries, roses, shortbread and ethereal minerality.
Growing Conditions
In Lake Balaton's volcanic hills, Hungary, a family-owned, eco-friendly estate flourishes amid national parks. Volcanic soils, pristine lake, cool climate, and pure air conjure magic for Nemesgulacs vineyards. Tiwari House nurtures 5 ha of Kékfrankos, Pinot Noir and Syrah.
Harvest
A mild winter and an early bud-burst, followed by a warm and dry growing season. The fruit set was abundant, and the harvest was characterized by sunny days. Hand-picked in late Sep. Very low yield of 0.30Kg per m2.
Winemaking
After a slow and very delicate pressing of the grapes, the pink must underwent spontaneous fermentation for 15 days in steel vats at controlled temperatures. Employing the classic method, bottle fermentation began in March, progressing slowly in the cellar for 9 months at 13°C. The wine then aged gracefully in the bottle with lees for 18 months.
