Producer Info:
"Ralf is a born enthusiast of fermented juice. Even as a teenager he made wine from cherries, rose hips or berry fruits. Later on, his passion drove him through the rigorous University of Geisenheim. After meeting Susann - a lawyer made wine merchant – they decided to move to Hungary and turn their savings into 2 hectares of land in 2002.
They cultivate Olaszrizling, Cabernet Franc, Kékfrankos, Portugieser and Merlot on the southern slopes of Siklós. As pioneers of organic viticulture, they were the first to implement this hands of approach in the region in 2003. Experiencing the benefits of chemical-free winemaking they decide to convert the whole estate to biodynamic in 2012. There is no technology in the basement either, except for an old press and a small de-stemmer. Susann and Ralf ferment and age their wine in steel tanks or in old oak."
