Wine list

A Csopak wine made from international varieties: mineral, refreshing and taut, as István and Mária conjured up the local wine. Subtle minerality, peach, gooseberry and green herbs. “We couldn’t get it wrong in 2016. We don’t like heady, heavy, alcoholic wines. Our wines are what we like.”

Lively, silvery Sauvignon Blanc with green herbs, cool aromas, and refreshing almost edgy acids. A light, reductive wine with green herb notes, intense varietal character.

This is the everyday Olaszrizling that should be consumed by the 4.5 declitre (450ml) ‘hamvasi’ measure. An elegant, crispy, harmonious wine with meadow flowers. The fresh acids are in balance with the 12.5% alcohol.

A pristinely pure, mineral, refreshing Olaszrizling with good acidity. A sugary, subtly sweet nose, intense golden colour, good flavours and a touch of nice bitterness. The southern foot of Somló Hill, plus the light, fruity notes of reductive winemaking and a subtly almond finish.

The whole bunch-pressed, selected, ripe Furmint’s must fermented in tanks and barrels where it was also aged for seven months. Ripe grapes and bread crust on the nose, pear, green apple and honey. Fresh fruits and surprising white flowers on the palate. Deep, full-bodied, harmonious and long.

It’s fuller, even in its honey yellow colour, and is rich and round. Refreshing, lively and easy to drink, but it’s more substantial than usual with its riper, buttery and oaky fruitiness, mineral saltiness and flavoursome, rich palate.

A pristinely pure, substantial and rich Chardonnay. A concentrated, multi-flavoured wine on the nose and palate, with peach, honey and peach flower. The used French barrels utilised for ageing and the subtle minerality of Tokaj further colour the already rich picture on the finish.

A pristinely pure and linear white wine with tons of fruit and the nice floral qualities typical of young Rieslings. It was fermented and aged in 12- and 18-hectolitre oval-shaped Stockinger barrels. Quince, apricot, sweet spices, marzipan, vibrant acidity.

The four grape varieties of the 7-ha plot in Balatonszőlős harvested on the same day. Perfume, face powder, flowers with oak and vanilla in the background. Ripe, with an almost biteable, rich palate.

Lovely fruit, pear, peach, slight smokiness, green herbs and fennel on the nose. Complex fruit, spices and minerality on the palate with stony-chalky notes. Lively acids, good structure. Seven vineyards, seven grape varieties, aged partly in tanks and partly in big barrels.

A pale and radiant salmon coloured and aromatic Kékfrankos-Merlot rosé under screw cap. Intense strawberry and wild strawberry nose. Light, juicy, intense palate with good acidity.

Possibly the most serious member of the Dúzsis’ 2016 rosé selection. Aromatic, rich in flavour, intense and pristinely pure. Cassis and cassis leaf, white flowers and green pepper aromas followed by a rich palate of sloe berry and forest fruit. Flavourful, exciting.

It has a special nose: pepper, mint and paprika spice, followed by rosehip, then eventually there’s sour cherry, redcurrant and grapefruit. The lively acids are further refreshed by the carbon dioxide bubbles. The length of the palate is reminiscent of that of serious white wines.

It was fermented in open vats, then aged briefly in big barrels. Beside the spice and red fruit, there’s candy floss and a touch of strawberry jam. Kadarka’s vivacious style: good-drinkability, light, pleasant.

100% Kékfrankos from Balatonlelle that underwent controlled fermentation in tanks with punching down and was aged in 5-hectolitre ászok barrels for a year. Fresh Kékfrankos character: purplish colour, red and black fruit, green herbs and tannins.

Whether it’s three because it’s a fruity, vivacious wine made from Sauvignon, Merlot and Franc, or because one doesn’t stop until having enjoyed three glasses, it’s hard to tell. Subtly oaky nose with blackberry and blueberry, followed by sour cherry and red fruits on the medium-bodied palate and long, dry finish.

Blauburger, Kadarka, Turán, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot fermented to semi-sweet in tanks. Medium-bodied, flavoursome red with sweet flavours, light alcohol and buoyant acids.

The team fell for the 2013 Figula blend at one of our latest tastings. Intense aromas of blackcurrant, paprika spice and green herbs. Delicious on the palate with nice weight and good barrel use. The whole thing is as good as a Balaton-felvidék summer afternoon.

The Merlot of Szekszárd’s Görögszó vineyard aged for a year and a half in large barrels and tanks. Oak barrels and fruit on the intense nose, with medium body. Good drinkability, round structure, tons of fruit on the palate and the vibrant finish.

Full body, nice barrel, smoke and almost all the early summer red fruit, from ripe raspberry to black cherry. Sweetish, typical fruity Pinot nose and palate but with the variety’s fuller expression.

Ripe sour cherry, cherry, subtle smoke and bay leaf. The fruity character also dominates the palate, alongside the elegant barrel and earthy/mushroom terroir notes. A flavoursome, juicy wine with medium body, nice details.

It’s the rich and powerful aromas, the good acidity and the sufficiently pronounced tannins that give the serious backbone with the forest fruit and gentle oak rendering the wine enjoyable, long and juicy. Franc, Merlot, Kékfrankos and Syrah selected from the sunny Batti kereszt vineyard.

Spicy with black fruit on the palate, warm nose, serious thickness. At the end of the long palate there are vanilla and oak notes, ripe tannins and subtle sweetness coming from the minimal residual sugar, and alcohol.

Incredibly aromatic: powdered milk, Dutch-Processed cocoa powder, black fruit. The dense nose is followed by a vibrant palate of sour cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant and dark chocolate coated plum. A wine that’s taught and flavoursome, blended with more Tannat than usual.

More than half is Cabernet Sauvignon, one-quarter is Franc, plus some Merlot to spice things up. It was aged for 17 months, partly in first-fill French barrels. Black fruit, pepper and tobacco on the nose. A noble wine with an intense, round and silky palate.

The wine is a blend of Kékfrankos, Merlot and Cabernet Franc harvested from the Nagy-Eged vineyard. An exceptionally nice and complex red wine that is dominated by strong place of growth character and great energy, yet it’s still an elegant, mineral red wine that moves within the spicy-fruity spectrum.

Very impressive intense wine, wonderful black cherry, cassis and dark ripe plums, underpinned with fruit acidity and round tannins. Again the hint of chocolate and very clean lingering intense flavours. The care and quality of this wine growing and wine making is very apparent.

Furmint and Sárgamuskotály. Pure botrytised grapes on the nose, with citrus, pineapple and mango fruit notes mixed with saffron and honey on the nose and palate. Great balance between sugar and acidity, light palate. Bottled with 107.6 g/l of residual sugar and modest alcohol.

A blend of Furmint, Zéta, Hárslevelű and Sárgamuskotály. Older than 25-year-old vines, colourful, diverse soils and 2 years of barrel ageing in Zemplén oak. Incredible play of 122 grams of residual sugar and a taut acid backbone.

A golden coloured aszú with honey and quince aromas. With its 162 grams of natural residual sugar and 50 grams of extract, it is especially rich, ripe and full of flavour. Dried apricot, ripe pear and acacia honey.
