Füred “Hegybor” Olaszrizling Organic, 2022

The latest vintage of our wine, which has been selected as the Hungarian Parliament’s Wine of the Year 2021, has arrived. The wine itself is remarkable compared to previous vintages, but we have also tried to “facelift” its appearance. We have crafted it from the grapes of our Farkó-kő vineyard in Balatonfüred, using rapid and gentle processing. As a result, the wine retains much of the uniqueness of the grape variety and the special characteristics of the terroir. As with the 2021 vintage, we did not use oak barrels. It was fermented with organic yeasts under controlled conditions in refrigerated tanks. This was followed by three months on fine lees and almost six months in stainless steel tanks. This process has resulted in a vibrant, refreshingly acidic Olaszrizling with beautiful complexity. Its aroma is extremely fruity, reminiscent of ripe Williams pears and salty caramel, with elegant notes. On the palate, it evokes the atmosphere of the Balatonfüred summer, with flavours of citrus, green apples and fresh autumn peaches, making it truly memorable. Our ambition was to do justice to the best qualities of our region’s brand (HegyBor). This wine is ORGANIC certified.
