Bukolyi Marcell

KÖVES

2022

After 10 years making wine for the family winery, Marcell Bukolyi struck out on his own and formed his own winery in 2016. The winery is 14 hectares, and it is the only fully certified organic winery in Eger. It is located on the foot of the Nagy-Eged hill, with rich chalk soils and a volcanic subsoil.

Köves is an Egri Csillag Superior ("the star of Eger"), the emblematic white blend of Eger. This comes from a single vineyard with limestone soils on the Nagy-Eged. Spontaneous fermentation and aging in stainless steel (85%) and 500 L Hungarian oak (15%) for 6 months. The grapes were fermented and aged separately, and blended a month before bottling.

Zesty and chalky, with apricot, red apples, orange blossom and salt. 50% Hárslevelű, 30% Riesling, 20% Furmint. Unfiltered and unfined, low sulfur added. Certified organic.
