In exceptional vintages, thanks to the excellence of the Nyúlászó vineyard in Mád, we produce Yellow Muscat not only as a late harvest wine but also as a dry or semi-dry vintage. It is characterized by a refined vineyard character and aromatics, with rose petals, strawberries, and a hint of lemon balm greeting us in the aroma. On the palate, white-fleshed peach dominates, complemented by notes of pomelo and lime.
Vintage January was mild and wet, which was well utilized. Due to the cool and foggy spring, the vines budded only on April 24th. Flowering started slowly, lagging 1 week behind last year. The dry harvest also began only on September 7th in the Dorgó vineyard, with the picking of the Zéta grapes. During the process, significant rainfall and high temperatures posed challenges. The berries began to crack, and botrytis set in. However, with intensive cluster cleaning and precise selection, we managed to gather excellent raw material for our dry wines until October 10th.
