Notes & Pairings
Szürkebarát (aka Pinot Gris) is no stranger to Lake Balaton and has been well documented here since the 13th century due to the Monastic tradition along the north shore. Organically grown in the volcanic soils just 1/3 of a mile from the shore, it’s super creamy without being overly leesy, refreshingly acidic, barely oxidative, and with just a little grip from the 2 days of maceration in both barrel and tank along with an added 500L barrel of 10 day skin contact juice as well. The flavors are ripe along with the salted rim typical of Péter’s wines. No other wine in the portfolio blurs the line between rosé and a light skin contact more than this one.
