Wine Components

Method

Wine Production Process

1

Harvesting

Harvest the Furmint and Hárslevelü grapes by hand, ensuring that only those affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) are selected.

2

Pressing

Gently press the selected grapes to extract the juice. This is done with a traditional wine press to maintain the integrity of the fruit.

3

Fermentation

Allow the juice to ferment in oak barrels for several months. Monitor the fermentation process closely to ensure optimal flavor development.

4

Aging

Age the wine in oak barrels for at least 3 years. This process enhances the complexity and depth of the flavor.

5

Bottling

Once aging is complete, the wine is filtered and bottled. Ensure proper storage conditions to maintain the wine’s quality.
