How István Bencz's style develops is also evidenced by the variability of his blue Pinot. This is his lighter variant (the more serious one is produced as "Atlas"), which comes from the lower part of the vineyard planted in 1999. Due to the vintage, there was a higher extraction of dyes than even Bencze is used to, even though the maceration lasted only 10 days. This was followed by fermentation and aging in old and new Burgundy barrels. Bottling without added sulphur, volcanic soil and only 11% alcohol make it an unusually juicy and sparkling Pinot Noir, whose best years are still ahead.

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.
