Notes & Pairings

Szürkebarát is no stranger to Lake Balaton and has been well documented here since the 13th century. Organically grown in the volcanic soils just 1/3 of a mile from the shore, it’s super creamy without being overly leesy, refreshingly acidic, and with just a little grip from the 2 days of maceration in both barrel and tank. The flavors are ripe along with the salted rim typical of Péter’s wines. No other wine in the portfolio blurs the line between rosé and skin contact more than this one.
