Bussay Pince

CHARMES PINOT NOIR

2020

Dr. László Bussay founded the Bussay Winery in the village of Csörnyeföld in Western Hungary in 1989.  The Zala region, once famous for its wines, had no notable wineries left in 1989, and the Bussay family was eager to see the potential of both white and red varieties on their estate after the fall of Communism.  Today the winery is 5.5 hectares, and László’s daughter Dorottya is the head winemaker.  They certified organic in 2018.

This is the first certified organic Pinot Noir from the winery, and the result is a deeper, more earthy, slightly fiery wine. The Charmes Pinot Noir has a rich spicy nose, with pepper, violet, red cherries and strawberry compote. Juicy and elegant. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, and aged in 500 L and 100 L used Hungarian oak barrels for 14 months. Unfiltered, unfined, and vegan. Certified organic.
