Notes & Pairings

Rizling means Welschriesling/Olaszrizling unless you specify otherwise. It’s one of the most widely planted grapes in the Pannonian basin and you can find it ranging from Eiswein, sparkling, 2 liter plastic bottles at the supermarket, age-worthy dry wines, and increasingly as a great candidate for skin maceration. Hand picked and destemmed, Gábor spontaneously ferments on the skins in open vats until the cap falls. It’s then barreled down on the lees for as close to the next harvest as possible. He doesn’t like having empty barrels. Bottled unfiltered with a small addition of SO2 (~20ppm), they even list the histamine level (4.40 mg/l) as well.
