"The vineyards are a true passion of mine. During Sunday lunches, my maternal grandmother often teased my father, insisting that Olaszrizling should be harvested vineyard by vineyard. Being from Nyíregyháza, he didn’t initially believe that vines standing just 800 metres apart could produce entirely different wines. Yet, relatively quickly – by the 3rd or 4th vintage – he mastered it, and from then on, harvesting by vineyard or by parcel became fundamental." – Mihály Figula.

The winery’s first single-vineyard wines were made in 1995, with the inaugural vintage of Sóskút following eight years later, in 2003. In the Sóskút-dűlő (vineyard) of Balatonszőlős, nestled directly below the limestone quarry, nothing survives except vines and almond trees – imparting the wine with a distinct stony, limestone character. Harvested from 50-year-old vines, the wine was spontaneously fermented in tanks, then half of it was aged for 7 months in 10-hectolitre barrels. Exceptionally mouth-filling, with a creamy palate brimming with peach, green pear, herbal notes and salinity, and a remarkably long finish. In 2024, only Sóskút’s grapes were deemed worthy of being bottled as a standalone single-vineyard selection.
