One of the reasons why we love Olaszrizling is because it is great at conveying the uniqueness of the Balaton terroir. That’s why our vineyard-selected Olaszrizling, which comes from the Hajnóczy vineyard on the outskirts of Paloznak, is so important to us. What makes the wine even more special is that our Olaszrizling vineyard is located on a plot with an extremely high lime content, where the vines themselves limit their yield.

The nose is a perfect example of the unmistakable aromas typical of Olaszrizling: it features notes of apple and almond, as well as the terroir of northern Lake Balaton. On the palate, firm acidity provides a backbone that allows citrus and mineral notes to come to the fore in the first half, followed by ripe yellow fruits in the second half and on the finish. This flavourful, vibrant wine pairs well with fried squid, mature sheep’s cheese (such as pecorino), and rosemary-flavoured poultry.
