The wild character comes from the Zweigelt, while the fine complexity is imparted by the volcanic soil. The foundation of the 10-hectare family estate has always been the volcanic Tihany sites, which still yield more than half of their grapes. In February 2020, standing alongside a few red wine barrels in Dávid’s cellar, we began shaping the idea of an authentic, refreshing red – and now here is the sixth vintage. Vibrant aromas of cherry juice, green herbs and blue flowers. Pure Zweigelt, with refreshing acidity and mature expression.

Organic methods were deployed, with hand harvesting just before full ripeness, then de-stemming, followed by spontaneous fermentation in open vats. The barely detectable sulphur and the minimal residual fizz from fermentation show that Dávid brought this wine to bottling with as little intervention as possible. Bottled on-site at the cellar, unfiltered and unfined.
