Wines

This is the Selection wine of Kardos Estate from the first class
Betsek block. Its unique character comes from the tophaceous zeolite
subsoil and the vineyard's Southern exposure.  The vine age is over 45
years. The minerality provided by the ideal terroir and the 15.7 g/L
residual sugar lend wonderful balance to this wine.
It represents a complex, highly concentrated, clearly varietal and
substantial wine that has a broad range of mineral and ripe fruity
flavours with a great length.

Origin and Soil

Betsek: First-class block. Southern exposure, rich organic matter as
topsoil and volcanic tophaceous zeolite as subsoil. Size: 1 Hectare,
Planted: 1964

Wine making:

The grapes were harvested in the middle of October with 24 Brix. The
juice was fermented and aged in 300L large, new, medium toasted,
Hungarian oak (from the Zemplen region). The fermentation was done by
using wild yeast. During aging we used the Sur Lie & Battonage
processs with regular stirring the lees for more mouthfeel. After the
6 month barrel-aging, the wine was bottled in May, 2010.
