Method of production

We chose the Furmint grapes from the Galambos vineyard for this wine. The weather of this year ensured high sugar content at the harvest and about 50% of the grapes were botrytised. After gentle pressing we fermented the must in stainless steel tanks and then matured the wine in barrels from Szerednye.

Tastes

The wine has a straw yellow colour and an oily character in the glass. Hints of sour cherry in the scent can be discerned with the fragrance of apricot. Upon tasting, the peach notes are emphasised, melting almost like candied sugar, enveloping the mouth with these playful tastes. A long finish – the full flavour of the wine can be savoured for minutes. Serve at 9 oC.

„A sok szem egy lélekké érik,
Bukéja pára, száll az égig,
S ereszkedik a pince-hűsbe,
Hol gyertyafény, belémerülve
Mutatja izzó tisztaságát.”
