THE WINE
A rich and exciting expression of Kekfrankos (Blaufrankish) from the basalt soils of Lake Balaton.  With 2/3 whole bunch maceration followed by ageing in a mix of Hungarian and French old neutral oak this is a different style of Blaufrankish to the lean and linear Austrian styles, more dense in the mid palate - similar to a Burgundian Pinot Noir with a spicier black  pepper flavour. 
 
THE PEOPLE
Raised to observe the small details in landscapes by his geologist father, Peter started making his own wines in 2019 after spending his training years in New Zealand and Argentina.   Taking over abandoned plots he spent 2 years without a harvest as he retrained the vines and improved the soil.  
 
THE PLACE
The Balaton wine region surrounds Hungary's Lake Balaton and comprises six districts: Badacsony, Balatonboglár, Balaton-felvidék, Balatonfüred-Csopak, Nagy-Somló and Zala,  covering some 10,700 hectares of vines. It's best known for crisp, mineral white wines from olaszrizling (Welschriesling), though red wine, especially Kékfrankos, is gaining ground on the northern shore. Volcanic soils around Badacsony and the Balaton Highlands give firm, mineral whites, including the rare, age-worthy Kéknyelű and rich Szürkebarát (Pinot Gris), while the nearby volcanic hill of Somló contributes fiery, saline wines from the ancient Juhfark grape. Overall, the region is prized for its diversity, from bone-dry to lush, fruity to salty,  reflecting its varied volcanic and loess terroirs.
