Stock information
Nyulászó is the southernmost vineyard in the Mád Basin, known as a ‘workhorse’ with thick soil. The Furmints harvested from here by Balassa always display a certain rusticity. Less in the way of petrol, but more vibrancy and vitality, with a peach pulp character. The long palate flows dynamically in a lively, smooth manner. This spontaneously fermented Furmint was aged in barrels for over half a year. An iconic wine from the winery, made from ancient Furmint vines from an outstanding terroir, aiming for the best possible result.

„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.”
