Édesem (“My Sweetheart”) was first made by Angelika Árvay of the family in 2008. It is a flattering, very fruity, late harvest wine with a bursting aroma from the glass, which often appeals even to those who don’t like dry wines. The sweetness and fruitiness of the muscatel are complemented by the minerality of the vineyard.
