Szolo - Föld 2020
Szolo - Föld 2020
Notes of white-fleshed peach and pears dancing on heaps of smoky minerality and earthiness. The persistent finish offers notes of roasted nuts and creamy texture and vibrant acidity reminiscences of a winter walk in a forest valley. A wine that speaks of all the hard work and the terroir in the most beautiful way. Furmint taken to the next level!

Interesting Facts
Föld translates to Soil.
From the 2020 vintage Tímea classifies her wines based on the five elements. All of her wines are single vineyard vines and based on the soil type and exposure they result in stylistically very different dinking pleasures.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested and vinified together. After picking - the bunches are direct pressed with a pneumatic press. Then - 2/3 of the juice is fermented and aged in ceramic eggs, the other part in stainless steal for 10 month on the fine lees. Bottled unfixed unfiltered without the addition of sulphur.
