Description

Information:

Today’s gold standards, rules now written in stone, all started out at one point as an experiment. Passionate, brave people’s most creative ideas were gradually transformed into common practices by several generations. This is why we are so keen to understand and accept this ever-changing world around us. To see and learn what we have to do in Tokaj and in Villány where we belong.

Tokaj

Complicated, rich, mysterious. Also traditional, beautifully-worn, gracefully-aging and distant, as a true legend should be. For two decades we have continually strived to figure out what it has to say, and we tremendously enjoy every minute of that ongoing conversation. Tokaj was never more ready to shine and we are proud to be part of its renaissance.  Let`s raise a glass of Furmint bubbles to it!

Villany

This is not just a wine country to us...it is our heritage. For Christian, it is Somberek, the tiny village nearby where his family lived for centuries. For Peter, it is Bóly, his birthplace. For our Cabernet Sauvignon, it is the cold plateau of Siklós where its lean acidity comes from. For our Cabernet Franc, it is the searing-hot Devil`s Ditch.  Villány is warm, homey and inviting. Once people arrive, no one ever wants to leave its magic.


Winemaking:

Grapes 100% harvested from Tokaj vineyards owned by the winery, mainly from Medve-, Birsalmás, Úrágya and Istenhegy vineyards, as well as from the uniquely chalky Padihegy.

Grapes harvested by hand, whole cluster-pressed at the winery.

Primary fermentation in Tokaj. 

Selection and blending takes place in our cellar in Budafok, with the addition of reserves for desired harmony and balance.

From the second fermentation phase, the bottles are matured in a traditional limestone sparkling cellar at a constant temperature of 12 -16 °, with steady high relative humidity of 80-82% throughout the year.  

Our sparkling wine is matured in bottles for more than 18 months.

 

Description:

Nose: An enticing nose, with notes of ripe citrus, honey, and juicy pineapple.

Taste: A first fresh impression, with citrus zests, lemon curd and a mineral smokiness. A well-balanced wine, vivacious with good length.


“Lovely restraint on the nose, cool, crunchy fruit. Fresh, smooth, and feisty. Elegant, fine nd soft mousse.”
