We received several cartons of Chenin Blanc from István Bencz from the 2020 vintage! The basis is grapes from a biodynamically cultivated vineyard of this originally French variety, planted by István in the location of Szent György-hegy in 2014. After picking, they are gently and slowly pressed, then the juice goes to ferment and mature for 12 months both in small clay amphoras and in older ones French oak barrels that were not topped up, so a fine yeast flora formed on the surface of the wine. Subsequently, the wine from both containers is combined and aged for another 18 months in a large 1500l oval oak barrel. In taste, you will enjoy a large dose of energy with French elegance! There are fresh citruses, green apples and a beautiful saltiness that gives it an interesting flavor structure. Don't miss the chance to taste this probably the most limited Bencze wine.

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.
