Winemaking: Biodynamic Kadarka grapes grown on clay soils were harvested by hand. Some underwent direct press, some de-stemmed and others remained in whole bunches.  Fermentation with indigenous yeast. Aged for 11 months in a combination of old oak barrels and fibreglass tanks. No fining, filtration or added sulphur. 

This Wine: Natural red wine from the Hungarian town of Mohács, close to the Danube river. A medium bodied red wine with soft tannins.  Dark fruit flavours, earthy undertones, cracked pepper and something meaty. Paid with a hearty dish. Less than 2000 bottles produced.

Notes on the Winemaker: Géza Galán started making wine as a pastime in 2015 but by 2018 he had bought a cellar and vineyards near the town of Mohács in the south of Hungary. Inspired by other winemakers in central Europe he farms with biodynamic techniques and has a strong desire to create harmony in his vineyards.
