Nose
Aromas of wildflowers, juicy pear, and green apple
Palate
Crisp green apple tantalizes the senses, while the flinty, mineral notes give way to a delicate, almost salty aftertaste with balanced acidity, capturing the essence of the volcanic terroir. Complex and layered, this wine is a story waiting to be told.
Growing Conditions
A family-owned, eco-friendly wine estate in the volcanic hills of Lake Balaton, Hungary, surrounded by national parks. Volcanic and basalt soils, pristine lake, cool climate, pure forest air and plenty of sunshine create magical environment for our vineyards on Nemesgulacs slopes.
Harvest
A mild winter, early bud burst, water stress during the growing season, and rainfalls during the ripening and harvest periods. A challenging vintage marked with well-timed decisions.
Hand-picked on 22-Sep. Very low yield of 0.29Kg per m2.
Bottling
Bottling started in mid-March 2023, without adding any extra sulfur.
Winemaking
After gentle destemming, whole grapes were gently pressed. Spontaneous fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 14-16°C for 15 days. Malolactic fermentation was allowed, and the wine rested on fine lees for 3 months. Gentle filtration was performed without using any agents.
Appearance
A unique blend of two rare grapes, this wine's light green-yellow hue hints at the natural splendor of the surrounding meadows.
