THE VINEYARD
The grapes were harvested in Holdvölgy, Nyulászó and Becsek vineyards, all featuring clay topsoil with crushed rhyolyte on a bedrock of tuff. With vine roots penetrating deep into bedrock, this wine features a mineral touch both on the nose and palate.
VINTAGE AND HARVEST
Summer was optimal for berry development, resulting in a balanced ripening process. Gradually decreasing temperatures in September aided the harmonious concentration of fruit. Harvested in several phases, from mid-September through early October.
