The wine region of Nagy-Somló
Smallest AOC in Hungary, around an isolated extinct volcano in Transdanubia, 100% basaltic bedrock. Juhfark signature as king white ("sheep's tail", almost exclusive native): opulent and mineral with yellow apple, citrus, honey, toasted almond, herbs and a volcanic smoky touch, high acidity and long ageing — known as "wine of the wedding night" under the Habsburgs. Taut Furmint, floral Hárslevelű (linden, honey), zippy Olaszrizling. Outstanding whites, rivals of Tokaj.
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: Pigeage
Operation consisting of a vertical treading to push the cap of marc into the wine, which promotes extraction. Pigeage can be carried out mechanically with jacks that plunge into the vat. Traditionally, it is the men who go down into the vats and push the cap by trampling it.
