Bohém 2016
A summer classic with good acidity – light, fresh and zesty.
It’s not really summer for us until the arrival of Bohém Cuvée, our estate blend. This year, we’ve made it for the fourth time, with minimal adjustments to the proportions of Olaszrizling, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. Light, fresh and zesty palate with green apple and citrus fruit.
750 ml 12 % Alk.
This wine was first made in 2015 from the virgin vintage of the Váradi vineyard. We show Riesling from a different angle, as instead of spontaneous fermentation and ageing in barrels, we chose the reductive method, in tandem with cultured yeast. The result is an elegant nose, focused acidity and incredible zestiness.
750 ml 12,7 % Alk.
Our 2016 Sauvignon Blanc comes from the second harvest of our replanted Váradi vineyard. This vintage brought rich fruit character and taut acidity. Opening with a delightful grapefruit citrus fragrance, the palate shows a vibrance and balance. Easy, fresh yet showing ample complexity.
750 ml 11,5 % Alk.

“Pronounced grapefruit on the nose with New World notes also appearing. The rich acids make the palate zesty, while the exciting minerality coming from the basalt of the Szent György-hegy defines the finish. Rounded out by 2 grams of residual sugar. Low alcohol, vibrant acids, superb sipping.”
This Olaszrizling arrived to our cellar from Marci’s own estate on Tagyon Hill, from calcareous, dolomite-rich soil. It was fermented partly spontaneously and partly controlled in steel tanks, then aged for five months on the fine lees. Intense varietal character, pronounced
acidity and a nice, round finish thanks to the touch of residual sugar.

“A modern, contemporary Olaszrizling from the slopes of Tagyon Hill, above Zánka, harvested from dolomite and immensely stony soil, from newly-planted and older vines. Fermented in tanks, partly controlled and partly spontaneously, in a small cellar, and then rounded out on fine lees for five months. A nice, appealing Olaszrizling with a creamy, rich, multi-flavoured palate and the limestone hill’s minerality. A long, vibrant, intense looking wine.”

A Kékfrankos from Tagyon-hegy, from the estate of our winemaker, Márton Ruppert. Following three weeks of punching down, only the free run went into 500-litre oak barrels, where it was aged for 12 months. It was bottled without filtering or fining.
We offered our 2016 Váradi Rajnai Rizling (Riesling) in support of the Autistic Art cause. The label of our limited release wine was based on the artwork of Renáta Lakatos. The Váradi Rajnai Rizling was spontaneously fermented and aged for eight months on fine lees in 500-litre oak barrels. It reflects the mineral, volcanic character of Szent György Hill with a long, rich palate and vibrant acidity.
750 ml 13,5 % Alc.
Tarányi is an organically cultivated vineyard on the southern slope of Szent György-hegy, an extinct volcano. Fruit from 45-year-old vines, hand picked and naturually fermented, this is a wine in which the expression of place challenges varietal character.
750 ml 13 % Alc.
Fortunately, we discovered the vast potential of the Mogyorós vineyard fairly early on. We’ve been making wine from its old vines since 2009. The base material that made it into the barrels owes its unparalleled complexity as wine to the long ageing after the spontaneous fermentation.

Single vineyard-selected Furmint fermented and aged in 500-litre oak barrels. A mineral wine with rich acidity. Complex character and long ageing potential.
