This plot in Sümeg belongs to Balázs’s friend, Tamas Tóth, who carried out the organic cultivation until the harvest, and from then on, every step has been linked to Balázs. As is typical of Sümeg, the Öreghegy vineyard, from which half a hectare of organically-cultivated Pinot Noir comes, is rich in limestone and clay.
