Notes & Pairings
This is the second wine coming from the ‘Fkt’ line at Fekete Béla. The traditional Béla wines are still being made according to Fekete’s style: botrytis, light maceration, and extremely long elevage on the less. No changes to those wines and they keep the traditional label as well. However, when Gábor took over completely a few years ago, there were a number of audibles to call. With new plantings and changing up barrels and so on, he found himself with extra Olaszrizling. Harvested pretty late in mid November, it was direct pressed and spent 6 months in used 1000l and 500l oak barrels followed by 3 months in tank. Extremely dry for a Somló Olaszrizling, it’s got that later picked depth but with the shorter elevage, really showcases the salt, fruit and levity.
