Description
Aries is István’s Riesling from old bush vines and it is a stunning expression of its terroir. The nose is floral and stone fruit-driven, with layers of white peach, nectarine, and delicate jasmine, all lifted by a subtle minerality. Aged in amphora, the wine presents a creamy mouthfeel that contrasts beautifully with its extreme tension and remarkable depth. Charming yet powerful, it showcases the potential for aging as long as you can resist not opening it, and without a doubt, it ranks among the most impressive Rieslings you’ll encounter.
In the cellar, István likes to take a step back and let the wines ferment spontaneously mainly in amphoras. He prefers not to use any additives in order to preserve the original personality of the varieties and the unique minerality of the volcanic soil.
The main goal at Bencze Birtok is to make wines that show the most of their terroir. István believes that the most essential moment is the picking time. It often happens that a wine is a result of five different harvest dates in order to achieve the desired balance.
