The 2025 vintage at Holdvölgy came from extreme weather and precise decisions at harvest. Despite a hot, dry summer and uneven ripening, the wines are concentrated, with lively acidity and real depth. The dry wines are firm and speak of place. The sweet wines, including a record amount of aszú, show an exceptional balance of acidity and sugar.
