Thanks to its higher altitude, dense surrounding forest, and western exposure, the site is typically 3–4°C cooler than the parcels on Szent György-hegy, with slightly higher rainfall. The soils are deep, humus-rich, and notably clay-driven, with significant mineral accumulation over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"937\" data-end=\"1098\"\u003eConversion to organic and biodynamic farming began immediately in 2022, with only a small portion of the fruit brought to the cellar for initial experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1443\"\u003eHarvested on September 6, the wine was made from a combination of whole-cluster pressed juice fermented in large fiberglass tank, to which one-quarter destemmed berries and one-quarter whole clusters were added for an 8-day co-fermentation on skins before pressing.
