Bencze - Pinot Noir 2021, 10.5%
Fresh fruit driven with vibrant herbaceous notes, playful, exciting and full of surprises. Without a doubt the best value for money Pinot Noir from the pioneer of natural winemaking in Hungary, István Bencze.
The grapes for this cuvée have been carefully selected from the lower parts of the vineyard. 20% of the crop was whole bunches that was crushed by feet straight away and 80% was gently de-stemmed. During the fermented in open vats for 10 days the cap was gently punched down by hand and feet twice a day for a moderate extraction. Transferred by gravity to stainless steel tanks where it stays on the lees for 10 month. Bottled unfined, unfiltered with the addition of 10mg of SO2 before bottling.
2019 was a moderate - cool vintage. The mild conditions during the ripening season resulted in high acidity a delicate body.
100% Pinot Noir, 10.5% ABV.
