2020 HOMOK

This wine is meant to highlight the texture of sandy vineyards. Seefeld is located adjacent to the lake on its western bank. Strong winds and the reflection from the water yield intensely aromatic grapes. Grüner Veltliner, planted in 1978, 1980, and 1990, makes up 40% of the blend. Weissburgunder, planted in 1980, 1995, and 2018, makes up and additional 40% of the blend. The remainder is Sauvignon Blanc planted in 1997. Whole clusters are direct pressed into stainless steel and large format oak and acacia barrels. After a quick racking the wine ferments and ages on lees for six months. The wine is then bottled unfined and unfiltered without SO2. 833 cases were produced. 10.2% ABV, 6.2 g/l TA

The vineyards were once grasslands (Rét in Hungarian) for livestock. Zweigelt (80%) and Sankt Laurent (20%) are fermented on skins for six days.
