Flavors like dried apricot, juicy peach, rose, passion fruit, and herbs dominate on the nose and palate. Long, deep finish. The wine spent 5 weeks on the skins, and fermentation was spontaneous in 1200 L open vats. The wine remained on the lees for 7 months without racking. Unfiltered and unfined, no sulfur added. Certified organic.

About Bussay Winery
After the fall of communism in 1989, Dr. László Bussay founded the Bussay winery in the hills of the mostly forgotten wine region of Zala near the Hungarian-Slovenian-Croatian border. Today, his daughter Dori is the head winemaker and continues her father’s tradition of reclaiming the soil by planting unique native varietals, such as Csókaszőlő. The winery was certified organic in 2018 and produces some of Hungary’s best wine using low-intervention methods, realizing Dr. Bussay’s vision of reinstating Zala as one of Hungary’s top wine regions 33 years later.
