The Year
Early 2020 Villány soil contained a significant amount of excess water after the wet winter. At the end of March Siklós vineyards were covered by snow. Bud-break came late and progressed slowly, the two-month blooming period was chilly and dry. The cold summer lasted painfully long, until early August, which slowed down ripening. September saved the vintage with record-breaking warm temperature and unique day-night temperature fluctuation, which is extremely beneficial in building aromas and minerality, also preserves bright color. This is a vintage of lean, unique, interesting wines. Can`t wait to taste them!
