Winemaking
The Year
After a wet and mellow winter bud break started early, followed by timely blooming. The beginning of the summer was hot and dry, while July and August turned out to be the opposite. We started the harvest with Furmint and Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (base wines for the sparkling wines). September made our life difficult with frequent rainstorms. The harvested fruit was optimally ripe and had nice aromas. We ended up with wonderful, proportionate and delicate wines. And sparkling wines made the year, no question about it!
