Atlas - the best of the Pinot Noir vineyard called Rókaluk planted in 1999, which has been farmed in biodynamic mode since 2013. After picking, whole grapes are left for maceration with a smaller proportion of de-stemmed, unground berries, which are dipped in a hat twice a day during maceration to prevent unwanted oxidation. After gentle pressing, the fermenting wine is transferred to oval 2500l oak barrels, where it ages for 12 months on coarse lees. It is then bottled without clarification, filtration or sulphurisation. In terms of taste, it is more of a lighter blue Pinot, but it offers a wide range of subtle aromas from wild berries, through ripe red fruit to spicy and peppery notes. We are very much looking forward to it showing its full potential with more years in the bottle.

Near Lake Balaton around Szent György-hegy you will find the Hungarian legendary biodynamic winery, which was founded in 2011 by István Bencze. It manages about 20 hectares of old and newly planted vineyards organically, emphasizing both the local typical varieties (Furmint, Hárslevelű or Kéknyelű) and the newly bred varieties with which it likes to experiment. In terms of processing, its wines are not clarified, filtered or sulfurized. Most of the wines underwent at least a short maceration on the skins and matured in various clay amphorae.

He is a winemaker who enjoys a huge response in the world, so we are very happy to be able to introduce and offer him here. And no wonder! His wines are among those that no lover of natural wines should miss, not to mention the design of his labels, which are a work of art in itself.
