Jász Laci

BASALT JUICE

2019

Jász Laci is making natural wines on his small organic estate on Somló, Hungary’s smallest (and very distinctively volcanic) appellation in the western part of the country. The Basalt Juice is Jász Laci's name for his 2019 Juhfark. This is a classic example of a Juhfark with age - integrated and savory, with flavors like peach, pear, and salt on the nose and palate. The finish is long and powerfully mineral.

The wine was spontaneously fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tank without temperature control. It then had one day of skin contact, and spent 6 additional months on the lees before bottling. Vegan, unfiltered, certified organic (2022). Only 660 bottles produced.
