$24.99

Homok means “sand” in Hungarian, symbolizing both the type of soil that this wine is born from and the important historical role of Hungarian culture in this border region.

Vineyard: Seefeld. A flat, dry and very windy 1.74ha plot in the west of Neusiedl am See, the last bits of solid land before the marshes of the lake. This location means that the grapes grow very intense aromas. Vines planted between 1978 and 2018.

G

Grapes (2025): 40% Grüner Veltliner, 40% Weissburgunder, 20% Sauvignon Blanc 

Making of (2025): Grapes are hand-picked and direct-pressed as whole bunches in the family’s old screw press. Juice goes straight into a mix of stainless steel, large oak barrels (2000L), and fiberglass tanks for aging. For the most part, all varieties are co-fermented. The wine is bottled in April 2026 unfined, unfiltered, with a touch of SO2 added at bottling.

Personality: easy breezy with nice energy coming from the old vines. The holiday feel depicted on the label (imagine standing at the vineyard site & looking at the lake) continues inside the bottle as well – think sun, mango, citrus, and careless fun.
