Villa Tolnay, Olaszrizling, Csobancz, Hungary 2022

Villa Tolnay is located at the foot of the volcanic Csobánc hill, on the northern shore of Lake Balaton in western Hungary. The ancient volcanic soils and primeval sediments of the former Pannonian Sea give the wines an unmistakably volcanic expression, with distinctive minerality and vibrant acidity.

The Olaszrizling (Welschriesling) grapes were picked by hand, and fermentation was spontaneous with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks (80%) and 750 L Stockinger barrels (20%). Citrus, apple and almond on the nose, with stone fruits and salt on the palate. Organic farming.
