After a chilly January, the temperature has increased step by step and continuously. Relatively high temperature in summer contributed to a quite early ripening. An outstanding vintage with nice balance in the dry wines and unbelievable richness in the sweets.
Hárslevelű grapes were harvested at the end of September. Whole bunches were pressed and fermented in one year old Zemplén oak barrels. After fermentation we matured the wine for six months in 300 litre barrels.
A superb companion to white meats, even some more serious veal and pork dishes. Serve cool.
