Characteristics of the vintage
After a cold winter, spring arrived early. It was followed by a cool and rainy May, a hot June and quite changeable weather in July and August. This has resulted in an early ripening. The autumnal weather was ideal for the development of botrytised grapes: a warm September with regular rainfall gave way to a very hot Indian summer in October resulting in abundant and perfectly botrytised grapes.
Vinification
90% of the clusters were destemmed and had a few hours of skin maceration before pressing, the rest was whole cluster pressed. Most of the lots making up this wine were fermented in stainless steel vats.
Grape varieties
100% Furmint
Maturing
The lots making up this wine were aged for 6 months in oak barrels of
two-three wines, with a capacity of 225 litres in our underground cellar. The blend was made in June 2020, followed by ageing in vats until bottling in May 2023.Tasting notes
Bright golden colour. Powerful nose with apricot, candied orange, spices like clove, and honey aromas. The palate is rich, textured with fresh acidity. This wine is complex, well-balanced with integrated sweetness. (March 2024)
Serving
Outstanding aperitif. Perfect accompaniment to foie gras. Also excellent with sea-fish dishes made with creamy sauce and lemon, duck dishes with fruit, and not so sweet desserts, fruits and cheesess. Ready to drink from the moment it is bottled. Thanks to the barrel ageing, it will develop in complexity during the next ten to fifteen years. To enjoy to its fullest, serve cool (11-13°C). After opening, it can be kept in the fridge for two weeks.
