The Wine & Winemaker
- Winemaker: Petra & Balázs Sziegl
- Region: Hajos Baja, Hungary
- Grape: Cserszegi Fűszeres & Irsai Olivér
The Story
We are staying with the inspiring couple Petra and Balázs in the sandy hills of Hajos Baja for just a bit longer. If there is one winemaking style that perfectly fits their playful and unpolished approach, it is the ancient method of making sparkling wine. For this bubbly surprise, they decided to bring two incredibly aromatic Hungarian grape varieties together. It is a masterful move. While one grape provides beautiful floral spice and solid structure, the other delivers an absolute explosion of fruit and enchanting perfume.
The Vibe & Tasting Notes
Pop this bottle and the party literally jumps out of your glass. This is sparkling joy in its purest form. Expect a super energetic nose full of vibrant aromas like pear, fresh pineapple, and elderflower. The bubbles are incredibly lively and dance across your palate, accompanied by tight notes of citrus fruit. The very best thing about this bottle might just be the fresh, almost electric acidity that keeps the wine perfectly balanced and dangerously drinkable.
Why natural wine costs more, and why it’s worth it
-
No shortcuts
Growers who refuse pesticides and chemical additives accept that they’ll lose a significant part of their harvest to weather, disease, and unpredictable nature, but they do it to keep their wines pure, alive, and honest.
-
Risk and loss
Nature swings between plenty and scarcity; frost, hail, heat and ferments can erase volumes, fewer bottles must carry the farm’s costs, with ageing measures adding expense to keep the wine clean and true over time.
-
Integrity and handwork
Hands replace chemicals: they weed, manage canopies, pick, and sort by hand; presses and gravity moves protect texture, while cleanliness and patient ageing deliver purity without shortcuts, increasing labor but preserving integrity in every bottle.
