Stock information
The Szent Tamás vineyard, located on the edge of the Mád Basin, is one of the most geologically diverse sites in the region. Its unique soil is composed of red clay, rhyolitic tuff, pumice and silicified tree trunks, which lend elegance, complexity and minerality to its wines. The 2022 vintage reflects the diversity of the plantation and achieves the ideal balance of ripeness. The layers gradually unfold, opening slowly. This is a precise, slow-maturing wine that clearly conveys the distinct characteristics of its place of growth.

„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.”
