It’s one of the most famous, and also from the aspect of soil science – the one with the most serious qualities on Mád’s eastern side. As the result of post-volcanic activity, the soil is extremely diverse, with red clay, zeolite, hard rhyolite and tuff. The characteristics of the 0.98-hectare plot 46 are perfectly conveyed by this Furmint: the wine is salty, stony and mineral. It was fermented in barrels in the usual way, followed by 8 months of ageing in barrels.

„I’ve been saying for 20 years that we’d stop adding new areas. However, we just can’t stop ourselves! Now it’s the andesite soil of Tállya and its five first-class vineyards that excite me. Once it accounted for most of the grapes in the wine region. My wife’s hairdresser has even asked me why I go there so often. We discover 800-year-old vineyard names and each parcel hides a surprise. The 2011 wines seem suspiciously good: that’s when it’s the most nerve wrecking for the winemaker. Again it showed that there is no recipe in winemaking; the practice of walking the vineyards and experimenting cannot be replaced by anything. Every day we try to make our wines believing that the wine region will once again be at the place where it should be.”
