Olaszrizling is no relation of the Riesling you may know, it's also known as Riesling Italico, Welshriesling and Graševina. Carefully hand-picked the wine is naturally fermented in 1000L Hungarian oak barrels before short maturation in barrel and tank. Super fresh, vivid, herby, slightly salty white with a ginger-pepper spicy finish. Herbs, lime and peach on the nose. Gooseberry, almond, green apple in the mouth. This is a beauty! Known as “The Grand Old Man of Somló,” Béla Fekete is a wine legend who spent five decades turning indigenous grapes from an extinct volcano into thought-provoking bottles with endless depth and aging potential. Every enchanting wine he crafted spoke to the mysticism swirling about the microscopic Hungarian appellation that is Somló, but as of the 2013 vintage, this wizened nonagenarian hung up his boots. That said, he’s hardly left: To this day, you’ll still find him monitoring harvest and guiding his successors in the cellar, all while living in a cottage surrounded by his former 3.5 hectares of vines. Gábor Riesz and his family are the current owners, taking over the winery from ‘Uncle Béla’ in 2014 and continue the legacy of his exceptional wines.
