2021 Tramini

Aromatic skin contact wines can easily go off the rails. This 40 year-old north west facing site just behind their home somehow avoids the common pitfalls of soapiness, bitterness, lack of acidity and simply being over macerated to the point where finishing a bottle becomes a chore. Macerated for 12 days followed by 10 months in 225L French oak, it was bottled without any additions. The Somlói character of depth and freshness shines through along with the salty vein that runs through every wine grown on this extinct volcano.
