Tasting notes

An elegant white wine made using the reductive process from grapes from the Villány wine region. The small percentage of Rizlingszilváni and Hárslevelű masterfully contrast with the insinuating aroma of Sauvignon Blanc, while the Chardonnay provides the body in the mouth. In its aftertaste can be found the character of limestone and minerals. Drink at 10-12 °C.

About the year

Unlike earlier years, the winter was extremely cold and dry. The minus-zero temperatures throughout January reduced the likeliness of the formation of later illnesses.

The great cold speedily burst into spring as the shoots appeared. The average daytime temperatures at the end of March were higher than is usual at this time.

Similarly to 2016, development was explosive. In April the early warmth was followed by several waves of cool, causing growth to slow down and the phrenological phases to return to normal.

At the beginning of May nearly 50mm of rain fell in three days. Sadly, as a result of the sudden rise in temperature the rain arrived with hail. Luckily this caused damage to only a small area of the crop. The heat of May remained with us throughout the summer, the august heat reaching 39°C for days on end.

The relatively dry and hot weather kept the sicknesses at bay, and so pest control was essentially pre-emptive, and there was comparatively little spraying to do. All in all, we were able to harvest lovely ripe bunches.

The unexpected September weather brought a sudden end to the good early harvest. As opposed to earlier years there ws higher rainfall and over several days. No week went by without some rain. The temprerature also suddenly dropped, but thanks to timely protection no infections formed.

However, the forced wait occasioned by the weather proved a good tactic, for October had a veritable Indian summer in store for us, and so the later varieties could ripen in safety.

Summing up, we can say that this year we were able to harvest healthy basic ingredients of superb quality.
[pl]Podobnie do zeszłego roku mieliśmy łagodną zimę. Wcześnie przyszło ciepło wiosenne, a wraz z nim wcześniejsze pączkowanie. Niespodziewane kwietniowe ochłodzenie przyniosło ze sobą miejscowe przymrozki (szkody z odmrożen), na szczęście nie wystąpiły na całym terytorium regionu winiarskiego, a raczej na terenach Siklosi i na zachód od niego. Niezwykle ciepła końcówka wiosny niejako starała się zatrzeć wspomnienie tego kwietnia. Lato pełne było wyzwań dla winiarzy. Duża ilość opadów, ciągłe, szybko zmieniające się naprzemienne ciepło i zimno utrudniły ochronę roślin i ich pielęgnację. Jednak dzięki trosce i w czas zakończonych prac zebraliśmy zadowalające zbiory dobrej jakości. Przez zimne lato rozpoczęcie zbiorów było późniejsze od zwyczajowego. Nadzwyczajnie ciepły wrzesień zwłaszcza z jego ciepłą końcówką zapewniły nam odpowiednią zawartość cukru w moszczu.
