Notes & Pairings
Ság is a small extinct volcano about 30 minutes northwest of Somló. Péter has been renovating a small press house and building a tasting room here for the past few years and is lucky to have also acquired a 100+ year-old Gemischter Satz vineyard. While the site is Olaszrizling heavy, it also has Furmint, Traminer, and Hárslevelű. Péter is also sourcing some massal selections from Tokaj (Erdőbénye) of Hárslevelű and Furmint for this site as well. Everything is fermented in open vats with a mixture of whole cluster and direct pressed juice, about half gets some extra maceration on the skins before being barreled down to used oak for a year. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this is the most textured of his whites and carries a heavy volcanic signature.
