Rich and intense aroma of sweet spices, menthol, apricot jam and tropical fruit. A round and creamy body, with dynamic acidity, moderate alcohol and palpable tannins. A strong mineral balance on the palate, with citrus fruit and notes of apricot. A long finish with hints of honey.

About the Winemaker

Attila Vámos is a winemaker like few other. He espouses a completely natural approach, one without the use of modern technology, letting the grapes do the talking. He has no employees and relies on the help of his friends and family in the vineyard, but the combination of so much loving care and strict yield controls ensure that each perfectly ripe grape is bursting with the volcanic minerality of the Eger region. The wines are made from pure grape juice, without even the use of a mechanical press, before being naturally vinified for an unadulterated taste of the terroir.
