Villa Tolnay

TENGER CUVÉE

2022

Villa Tolnay is located at the foot of the volcanic Csobánc hill, on the northern shore of Lake Balaton in western Hungary. The ancient volcanic soils and primeval sediments of the former Pannonian Sea give the wines an unmistakably volcanic expression.

Tenger ("sea" in Hungarian) is a terroir-driven white blend from Villa Tolnay. The wine was inspired by the ancient Pannonian Sea, which has left Csobánc with the unique basalt soils and ancient sea sediments that leave an indelible imprint on its wines. The Tenger has flavors of ripe stone fruit and roasted almonds, zippy citrus and salt, with an elegant creamy finish.

Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, and aged an additional 12 months in Austrian and French barrels. Chardonnay 40%, Riesling 25%, Olaszrizling 20%, Grüner Veltliner 10%.
