An electrifying Riesling from the volcanic basalt bedrock around Lake Balaton that breaks all conventions. Light pressing of the whole bunches was followed by spontaneous fermentation and 14-month aging in earthenware vessels. In the autumn of 2022, all the vessels were sealed, after which the wine matured without the addition of sulfur for a year in the bottle before István Bencze released it to the world. And behold, energetic whites with a strong winemaker's signature - acid that will blow you away. The aroma is fresh and herbal with notes of sorrel, thyme and lemongrass, we love this.

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.
