István loves the wines of the Loire Valley, and guess what us too! So much so that he thought he'd plant a little Chenin in Hungary to see what happens. I'm so thankful he did. Directly pressed into old burgundy barrels that he didn't top up for a few months so they aged under flor. They were then blended into larger oak and this time topped up for another year and a bit. The slight flor aging is nothing to be scared of, we're not in oxy territory here, it just adds a nice salty component. That is on top of the multi-layered citrus, lanolin, and nuts. Want more? Well expect a creamy mouthfeel and plenty of chalky minerality that is cut to shreds by lazer, and I mean, lazer sharp acid. You know when the caption is this long that I'm really into it. ABV: 12%
