Characteristics of the vintage
Budbreak, flowering and ripening were later than usual. After an extremely hot and dry June and July, August and September were cool helping to preserve a lot of acidity in the grapes.
Four different plots of the Disznókő vineyard specifically destined for this dry wine were harvested and vinified separately. Manuel harvest of fully ripened, healthy bunches from 21st to 23rd September.
The grapes were picked in small boxes of 20 kg (44 lbs).Tasting notes
Light straw yellow robe. Very fresh, fruity nose with citruses, stone fruits, and pear aromas. On the palate, the very fresh and tonic acidity is balanced by a good weight, with pleasant texture. A sweet touch and minerality in the finish.
