Terra III 2021- Terra Project

One of our favourites from the Terra Project. 100% Riesling, hand-harvested, gently pressed and fermented in inox and matured in FlexCube tanks. Hints of beeswax, gasoline, and salty brine on the nose with herbaceous and mineral notes on the palate.

As much as we love Rieslings from Germany, we can’t help but adore the beautiful fruit and the luscious, elegant wine from Vászoly. Terra III follows in the line of previous Terra project of Riesling comparisons , the first of which was made in 2018 (Terra II) with grapes from Tagyon-Hegy.  100% Riesling, hand-harvested, gently pressed and fermented in inox and matured in FlexCube. Hints of beeswax, gasoline, and salty brine on the first whiff. Herbaceous and mineral on the palate, with an array of pear, quince, salty lime preserve and olive. Complete with a silky smooth finish - pair it with a generous portion of fries, and your deck chair to watch the sunset over the water (we do recommend Lake Balaton, but any body of water will do!)

The Terra Project

The idea of the Terra Project was born in 2017, inspired by two pure and beautiful Rieslings from Terra I-  being St. György-Hegy (Mount St. George) and Terra II- being Tagyon-Hegy, 23 km to the northeast of St. György-Hegy along Lake Balaton. Terra Project is the comparison with our home terroir on St. György-Hegy and other terroirs from which we are able to source representative organic Riesling fruit. We believe in our volcanic-powered Rieslings but acknowledge beautiful terroir anywhere, and we have used the great Riesling grape to paint the canvas of each individual Terroir. We hope you find the nuances in each of our Terra wines.
