Austrian winemaker Roland Velich and Hungarian grower Bálint Losonci collaborate on this volcanic revelation from Lake Balaton's basalt-topped slopes. A 50/50 blend of Furmint and Riesling, fermented with native yeasts in a mix of used barrels and stainless steel, then aged on its lees for over a year. The result is pure and crystalline: saline minerality, stone-fruit intensity, with that haunting white-wine grip that speaks of volcanic earth. This is terroir-driven drinking that rewards exploration.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 91
"From volcanic (basalt) soils, the 2021 Balaton Riesling / Furmint is pure, fresh and precise on the intense and elegant nose that reveals ripe fruit intertwined with saline, crystalline and stony aromas. Intense and juicy on the palate, with floral and fruity flavors and a round and charming texture, this is a linear and elegant blend with ripe acidity yet a structuring minerality and crunchy phenol grip. It's still young but age-worthy. 13% stated alcohol. Diam 10 cork. Tasted chez Moric in Austria in September 2024." -Stephan Reinhardt
