Aries 2021 is a single-vineyard Riesling from the estate’s oldest planting, the Templomdombi vineyard.
The vineyard was planted in 1976, and only a few clusters per vine are harvested each year from the upper terrace of the site, ensuring concentration and natural balance.
In 2021, István crafted this wine in an oxidative style from these old vines, aged for 4.5 years in amphora under a natural yeast veil.
The result is an elegant, mineral-driven Riesling with a rounded, full texture and a subtle sense of sweetness. Classic Riesling fruit tones—most notably apricot—are layered with a clear mineral backbone and a gentle oxidative complexity, giving the wine depth, harmony, and a long, textured finish.
