Notes & Pairings
This is essentially a “Gemischter Satz” mostly consisting of Királyleányka, Rajnai Rizling, and Chardonnay along with some Olaszrizling from the nearby village of Lánycsók. “Kert” translates to “Garden.” The Rajnai and Olaszrizling get 3 days on the skins in open vats while the rest get 50% semi-carbonic for 8 days, 50% direct press in both oak and fibertank. Géza made some homemade Harcsapaprikás túrós csuszával (local fish in a paprika fresh cheese/sour cream sauce with bacon and pasta) on our last visit and the Kert White was a killer companion. Bottled unfiltered with zero additions. 1745 bottles were produced.
