100% Furmint, made from carefully selected grapes from multiple plots across the estate, grown on soils rich in rhyolite tuff, andesite, and other volcanic rocks. The botrytized grapes, hand-harvested over several passes, are macerated on the skins for one week in fermenting late-harvest Furmint must. After pressing, the wine is aged for 24 months in Zemplén oak barrels crafted by the local Kalina cooperage.
