In Italian mood
Etyeki Kúria Sauvignon Blanc Brut
It takes almost a master's intuition to pick out what we can be different at, what is unusual. Challenging convention and winning the approval of the public and the profession is relatively rare...
... but we did it again.
The delivery costs of the batches for purchases over 20.000 (twenty thousand) HUF gross are a gift from the Etyeki Kúria Winery.
In accordance with the current waste management legislation, we charge a 50 HUF per bottle return (DRS) fee for our products in our online checkout. Bottles can be returned intact to official collection points in Hungary.
Personal favorite
"We are experimenting a lot with sauvignon blanc, looking for ways to push the boundaries of the variety. Every vintage inspires us to try a new approach."
Sándor Mérész
Chief Wine-maker
How it’s created
Inspired by the Asti method, Sauvignon Blanc grapes were harvested in perfectly ripe condition and vinified by fermenting the must in a pressurized tank. The sparkling wine was then aged for five months on fine lees until bottling.
On the nose
The nose teases at first with lemon candy, the core is a combination of white acacia, yellow grapefruit, green apple and freshly grated ginger.
On the palate
On the palate, notes of lemon sorbet set the tone, with crisp green apple, yellow grapefruit juice, fresh ginger, mint and sweet basil, and hints of gooseberry and carambola.
