The wine region of Badacsony
Emblematic zone of Hungarian Balaton, north shore on extinct volcanoes with unique basalt soils. Signature structured mineral whites: basalt releases potassium and magnesium, conferring striking minerality and salinity. Rare reborn native Kéknyelű with signature notes of lemon, white apple, fresh herbs and a smoky mineral touch. Olaszrizling (most planted) fresh, Szürkebarát (Pinot Gris) ample, taut Furmint.
The wine region of Balaton
Hungarian region around the largest lake in Central Europe, 6 zones including volcanic Badacsony. Signature Olaszrizling (Welschriesling), Hungary's most planted grape: lively, mineral whites with signature notes of almond, citrus, green apple, white flowers and a herbaceous touch, a crisp finish - a typical thirst-quenching wine. Also round Szürkebarát (Pinot Gris), ample Chardonnay, rare native Kéknyelű. Basalt in the north, lakeside climate.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
