This year saw the first crop from the fresh planting in the Szent Tamás vineyard. This debuting Hárslevelű showcases another, more aromatic face of the vineyard. Spontaneously fermented and matured in oak barrel for 8 months. Characteristic ripe notes of the variety, with a touch of saltiness. A medium-bodied but a very full-flavoured wine, with elegant acidity and refined texture on the palate. Very complex.
Alcohol: 13.0%
Residual Sugar: 5.1 g/l
Acidity: 6.3 g/l

„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.”
