2021 Szolo Levego Tokaj, Hungary
$35.00
Certified Organic and practicing biodynamic. 100% Furmint from a single vineyard parcel in the subregion of Tállya called ‘Hetény.’ The vineyard is a new plantation of between 5-10 years of age on volcanic loess soils, 280m of elevation. Direct pressed into 50% concrete egg, 50% ceramic eggs. Racked off gross lees; fermentation and élevage retain fine lees. Bottled after ten months unfined, unfiltered, zero SO2 added. Winemaker Tímea Éless classifies all of her single-vineyard bottlings with an elemental name that corresponds to varying soil types or vineyard hallmarks; in this case, “Levegő” translates to ‘air.’
