Villa Tolnay
RAJNAI RIZLING
2020
Villa Tolnay is located at the foot of the volcanic Csobánc hill, on the northern shore of Lake Balaton in western Hungary. The ancient volcanic soils and primeval sediments of the former Pannonian Sea give the wines an unmistakably volcanic expression. with distinctive minerality and vibrant acidity.
The Rajnai Rizling (Riesling) was picked by hand, and spontaneously fermented and then aged in stainless steel (80%) and 750-1500 liter Austrian Stockinger oak barrels (20%) for 9 months. Balanced and elegant, with yellow fruits, white blossoms, minerals and herbs on the palate. Organic farming.
From Wine Enthusiast: “This light straw-colored wine offers aromas of ripe summer peach, grapefruit, chopped fresh parsley and jasmine. There is a bold floral note underlying nectarine, clementine, cantaloupe and nutmeg flavors that culminate in a vivid finish.” (90 Points, December 2023)
