Notes & Pairings

In speaking with Annamária about this wine it was her desire to avoid the typical “Orange wine taste” as she put it. A placeless natural orange “yeah, I’ve had this before” kind of taste. Ripe fruit when over macerated can often give off this corn smell that she would like to avoid at all costs as well. This wine gave her a great opportunity to avoid both pitfalls. It’s also an admitted ode to Tom Petty’s “Southern Accents,” and another collaboration with some organically sourced Hárslevelű and Sauvignon Blanc from the Mátra appellation – hence the multiple “accents” from two appellations in the East. The Hárslevelű was destemmed and basket pressed with zero maceration. The whole cluster Sauvignon Blanc spent 1.5 weeks sealed off from oxidation and then basket pressed. Fermented separately in plastic and fiberglass then blended and bottled in July 2022.
