About →

Pollen and acacia honey dominate the nose, complemented by white-flesh fruits, tangerine and a hint of grapefruit on the palate. 2015 was a hot and dry year which allowed grapes to accumulate high levels of sugar before harvest. There was also hardly any botrytisation in this vintage, resulting in an overall fresher wine.

𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗢𝗜𝗥 / 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚:
The vineyard soils are stony: volcanic rhyolite tufa with some zeolite and red clay. Some 80% of the land is planted with T85 and the old-type small-bunch Madárkás Furmint clones, and the rest with Hárslevelű, Sárgamuskotály and Kövérszőlő.

About half of the estate is planted with cordons at 1.4 x 0.8m and 1.0 x 1.0m, and can only be cultivated by hand. The other half is low-cordon at 1.8 x 1.0m density. This vineyard is cultivated traditionally with no use of herbicides or systematic chemicals.

𝗙𝗨𝗡 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧! Szamorodni, meaning “as it comes” in Polish, is made by harvesting whole grape bunches rather than selecting botrytised berries one by one as in Tokaji Aszú. Because the whole bunches may contain a mix of healthy and botrytised grapes, Szamorodni can be dry or sweet depending on the vintage and the level of botrytis that year!
