2021 Fodor Olaszrizling

This 57-year-old and small berry clone bush-trained 1 hectare vineyard was Oszkár’s great-grandmother’s dowry. The vineyard borders the Szelevényi nature reserve by only a 3 meter wide road. The wildlife and cover crops nearly mimic the forest. Oszkár also remembers his grandfather saying that Olaszrizling needs time with the skins in order to survive. Back then, there were no additions to the wines and Oszkár is keeping with both traditions. 7 days on the skins followed by 12 months in a 1340 liter barrel. He’s also fond of describing this wine as grease and motor oil for the soul even though he prefers only man and horse in the vineyard. Wine from Fodor encapsulates the farming and the cellar from these older generations and has great significance to Oszkár. Bottled unfiltered by gravity with zero additions.
