Stock information
A perfectly harmonious Szamorodni from the 17.6-hectare Balassa estate, made from 100% Furmint from Mád. None of the details are exaggerated, the winemaking is the typical István Balassa style, the 254 grams of residual sugar beautifully balances the 7.5 grams of acidity. The creamy palate fills the mouth nicely, the nose is reminiscent of tropical and candied fruits, plus ginger. It shows the deep and complex world of botrytis, while the acids play with the volcanic minerals.

„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.”
