Töttöskál 2023

A wine with a mineral character typical of the region, made from grapes harvested by hand from mostly old vines grown on a limestone and basalt area in the heart of the Káli Basin, with a crisp, fruity flavour.

Alc.: 13%

Composition: Olaszrizling 30%, Chardonnay 30%, Szürkebarát 30%, Irsai Olivér 10%.

The base wines were fermented in tanks, then after blending, the finished cuvée spent another half a year in a large, two-thousand-litre oak barrel. Thanks to this, the components came together very nicely, seamlessly, into a harmonious whole. In the glass, it is a light golden colour, sparkling, inviting to taste. Its expressive, intense aroma is of juicy peach, yellow flowers and sea salt. The sip has a creamy feel, the acids are polyphonic, its taste is particularly rich, medium-long, with a multifaceted fruity-grape-salty finish, with flashes of almond.

In France, it would be called a village wine, which is why it bears the old, Árpád-era name (Töttöskál) of the former, now defunct neighbouring settlement, where our vineyards are located.

In our opinion, this is the most beautiful Töttöskál cuvée from the winery to date. A genuine and enjoyable Balaton Uplands estate cuvée that goes far beyond the base wine. And what definitely deserves a mention: it is a wine with an excellent price-value ratio.

Producer information

Their family has been engaged in crop production and animal husbandry for several generations in the Káli Basin, in Szentbékkálla. Of these, viticulture and winemaking have always played a prominent role.

They want to reach consumers who appreciate unique, fruity and mineral wines that reflect the characteristics of the landscape. Their goal is to develop a varietal assortment that is better suited to production and sales opportunities, to develop local wine tourism and to increase online sales. They would like to appear in the range of more catering establishments and sell some of their items in retail chains.

Their main motivation in winemaking is the sight of the orderly plantations covering the landscape. To create a unique product that is characteristic of them. If many people say that the wine is good, they like it, it fills them with satisfaction and inspires them enough to continue on the path they have started.

The greatest joy for them is the fruit of their labour, the icing on the cake is a good vintage! To watch the process, how a small planted plant develops into an older vine and what shades and flavours of wine it can produce during its life.

The most difficult thing is the many uncertain factors: weather, wine fashion, changing economic environment.
