Jász Laci, Orange Blend "Setting Sun" Somlò, Hungary 2022

Jász Laci's "Setting Sun" is a rare blend of native varietals from Somló: Juhfark, Furmint, Sárfefér, Gohér, Járdovány, Olaszrizling and Zőldszilváni.

The grapes were co-planted in a single vineyard on the western slope of Somló, and they were co-fermented. Fermentation was spontaneous with native yeasts in stainless steel tank without temperature control. The wine spent 4 months on the skins and remained on the lees until bottling.  Unfiltered and unfined, with low sulfur added.  

Ripe guava and mango meet dried roses on the nose, with savory citrus, salt, herbs and golden apple on the palate. The volcanic terroir lends a touch of smoke to the finish.
