Description
The wine opens with elegant and nuanced bouquet of ripe citrus, honeyed apricot, floral elderflower, and subtle smoky notes. Aged in amphora, it boasts a beautifully textured mouthfeel, balancing richness with vibrant acidity, while slight tropical hints of mango and pineapple add complexity. The palate is a refined blend of lemon, peach, and spice, finishing with a long, flinty minerality that perfectly reflects its volcanic origins. Drinks like water, just a “tad” more limited.
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.
