FLORAL AND CONFIDENT WITH A VIVID PERSONALITY.

This wine represents a remarkable fusion of the historic 1st Growth Becsek and the Hárslevelű grape variety. It beautifully showcases the terroir, capturing the elegance and charm of this specific vineyard, which is enhanced even further by the subtlety of the Seguin Moreau oak barrels.

“Beauty without expression is boring” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our single varietal Hárslevelű is the 10th release from our parcels of first growth Becsek where the average age of the vines is 44 years. On the nose white petal flowers and lychee dominate with a touch of vanilla. The palate is steeped in pear and citrus character accompanied by white peach with a gentle mineral finish. A vivid and multi-layered terroir wine inheriting the clear and unrepeatable elegance of the vineyard elevated by the subtle Seguin Moreau oak.

The beginning of the year was almost rainless, and this unusually long-lasting dry period slowed down the growth of the vine. The late and diversified blossoming and the rainy, early summer predicted the probability of a quantity problem at harvest. With precise and efficient viticultural work we started harvesting the grapes in their best possible condition for our dry wines.
