2022 Eastern Accents

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. It’s also an admitted ode to Tom Petty’s “Southern Accents,” and another collaboration with some organically sourced 65% Hárslevelű and 35% Furmint from the Mátra appellation. The Hárslevelű is crushed just enough to yield enough juice to soak whole cluster for about two weeks. The Furmint was mostly direct press with small fractions spending one week on the skins. There’s no Sauvignon Blanc this vintage, so it’s a little more on the macerated side with more whole cluster and stem inclusion. Fermented dry separately in fiberglass and plastic, they were blended in August 2023. We also have 2 magnums up for grabs as well.
