Notes & Pairings
Stephanie refers to this single vineyard site as a “playful location.” The wines from here are a mouthful early in their development and offer a lot of intensity right off the bat. The vineyard site has classification pedigree going back to the early 1700s and likely refers to original ownership by the village of Košice in modern day Slovakia (previously Kassa when a part of Hungary). While we wait for the Váti and Lónyai to come around in bottle with more age, this is the ideal choice for a Summer arrival. Barrel fermented and aged, the south facing fruit showcases the longer hang time without botrytis side of dry Hárslevelű.
