Bencze - Pétillant Rosé 2022

What does it look like when a legend like Bencze decides to make pink bubbles? As always - absolutely great! Even for this pét-nat, he used only his own grapes from the biodynamic vineyards of the Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, Blauburger and Zervin varieties, which can be found northwest of Lake Balaton. The red grapes were first macerated together for 7 days, after which they were gently pressed on the 8th day, the Chenin was pressed directly after picking and everything then fermented together in a stainless steel tank. At the end of fermentation with 16g of residual sugar, the wine was bottled "alive" under a crown cap, where it fermented to dryness. At the beginning of 2023, the lees were decanted, which supported the wine's sparkle and lightness. In the Taste, it has a rich juicy pearl, an aroma full of red flowers (hibiscus, rose), a subtle saltiness and a currant fruity character.
