Notes & Pairings
This vintage shows undeniable fidelity to Somló. It’s like taking the hard salty mineral water from the natural springs on the hill and adding acidity, fruit, and spiced honey. My notes just say “heart of Somló,” meaning this could never be confused as coming from Tokaj, Balaton or anywhere else. After one and half years in barrel, it’s just 12% alcohol, less than 2 g/l of RS and a whopping 7.5 g/l of acidity with full ripeness. Densely layered and balanced like a Hungarian Dobos Torte or Eszterházy Torta. Golden volcanic goodness.
