Notes & Pairings
Bálint has become one of the most trusted growers we work with. His transparency on his farming, labor, and consistently introducing us to other likeminded growers has been instrumental in exploring the appellation. While we wait for the 2019 “Roger” to finish fermenting and his reds (Kékfrankos, Pinot Noir) to arrive in the fall, we are very happy to have access to his Riesling. This comes from the Vármegetti vineyard in Gyöngyöspata, and is in what he calls the 'mandarin' wine category. For Bálint, this means about a week on the skins. Kept topped up and gently handled, it’s clearly Riesling but with the added texture, salt, smoke and healthy freshness present in all his wines from the Mátra.
