Typical, young and fresh Badacsony Riesling from volcanic soil. Very attractive smell with ripened and dried fruits. Round, fleshy and complex in the taste with a soft feeling, and an extra long aftertaste. 2022 was a  really warm and sunny vintage around lake Balaton. Therefore we have this rich and ripened style at 2022 wines. The vines are about 45 years old. All of our vineyards are first class vineyards  in Badacsony historical wineregion.  They are south faced, very steep and stoney vineyards directly above lake Balaton. Main soiltype is the volcanic stone – basalt, and “pannonian sand”.Harvest time: harvest in two steps. First harvest in mid October, second harvest is late October. Only hand picked grapes. Very gentle, full cluster pressing. Long fermentation (about 3-4 month). Fermenting and aging only in steel tanks in order to preserve the nicest and elegant ,but rather volnurable Riesling aromas. This wine has a good aging potential due to the combination of volcanic terroir and Riesling variety.
