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: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
