A traditional method sparkling wine made from 88% Hárslevelu and 12% Furmint. 24 months of lees ageing give the wine a bready nose, underlined by mineral freshness and pear blossom. The honey and beeswax characters come through to the palate, with lovely depth of honey loaf cake and creamy roundness. The crisp green apple acidity (7.1g/l) cuts through to the finish, seasoned by apple peel bitterness.
