One of the gems of the Mád Basin. Pisti crafts a charming, appealing wine from the white rhyolite-tuff soils – even in such warm vintages. The terroir’s character runs through the Furmint. Spontaneous fermentation in barrel, followed by eight months of ageing in the same barrels. The nose exudes stone fruits with subtle spices from the barrel. The palate is taut, creamy and full-bodied. The saline, stony, vineyard-specific notes linger for a long time.

„Five hectares is the limit for me. That’s the upper ceiling of quantity and quality that one can control. For me, that point comes at five hectares. The character of a vineyard shows itself the most if we wander around it incessantly; if we live together with the parcel and nature. We experience, learn and improve year after year. Something that worked in 2010 had to be redefined in 2011. In such a dominant and warm year, the differences between the vineyards appear more slowly. I work exclusively with second-fill barrels; the first fill never makes it into the bottle. It would suppress the character of the vineyards.”
