The 2022 Moric Balaton Riesling/Furmint is an intriguing white blend from Hungary, created by Austrian winemaker Roland Velich. This wine offers a complex aromatic profile of ripe citrus, green apple and stone fruit, interwoven with notes of wet stone, smoke and a distinctive saline character. On the palate, it is dry, vibrant and textural, with a taut acidity and a savoury minerality that provides tension and length. Moric sources the grapes for this blend from old-vine parcels around Lake Balaton. These vineyards are characterised by a combination of volcanic soils (basalt), limestone and loess.

Villa Tolnay`s 2022 Balaton Riesling / Furmint, produced and distributed with the help of Roland Velich (Moric, Austria), is an intensely yellow-colored white wine that should be served in a big glass to unfold the depth, intensity and complexity of the nose, which is based on ripe, elegant and concentrated fruit intermingled with notes of crushed (volcanic basalt) stones and herbs or flowers such as the licorice plant. This is a full-bodied, fresh, mineral-structured and nervous yet elegant, refined, balanced and very stimulating blend from one of the most beautiful volcanic hills in Hungary. The finish is long, intense, wonderfully citrusy and bitter and also salivating. It`s an impressive white from the Balaton! Diam 5 cork. Tasted in March 2025.
