Szent György-hegyi Olaszrizling, 2022

The Olaszrizling from Mount Saint George is composed of selected bunches from three local areas. It is meant to be an encapsulation of the essence of Mount Saint George, so the design differs slightly from the other labels. The straw yellow of the wine with its greenish hues is widely believed to be the optimal colour of Olaszrizling. With notes of apricot, acacia honey, and coconut, this vintage is creamy, soft, yet salty, a true terroir wine.
