Notes & Pairings

This is the first time we’ve been able to get our hands on some Kéknyelű from a small parcel called Ágyús Dűlő on the southern side of the 346-meter-high Tóti-hegy. This volcanic hill is home to a former quarry and is still littered with abandoned press houses. The 2018 is a special one because the malic acid went completely to zero at 11.5%, so he bottled it unfiltered with minimal SO2. 100% stainless steel with no extended maceration, I hope we are able to hold onto this for a little while, because it loves some age despite drinking like super refreshingly hard mineral water when young.
