2024 CHARDONNAY

Dry white wine with Etyek-Buda Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)
The wine opens with fresh, lively, ripe white-fleshed fruits. Yellow apples, pears and apricots dominate. Behind the fruits, white flowers, mainly elderberry, color the aromas. It is kind and "playful". When tasted, we get back the scent, which is complemented by a light southern fruit character. In the aftertaste, behind the pear and peach, a soft creaminess accompanies the sip. Elegant and delicious!

Vinification
Grapes harvested manually in several passages. After careful cool pressing, 80% underwent reductive, low temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks, while 20% was fermented in 300-liter Hungarian, Austrian and French oak barrels (proportion of new barrels 30%). Matured on the fine lees for twelve months, then blended, and aged for another three months before bottling.

Food Pairing
To accompany smoked and grilled fish, meat dishes prepared with cream or mushroom sauces.
