Kékfrankos is the wine variety of Sopron. Here it has its origin. Over the past years this variety got a lot of international reputation, whereas in Hungary it is still an underdog. For a long time, this grape was misunderstood and treated the wrong way. Nobody took care of it until my father made the first quality Kékfrankos of Hungary in 1997.
Balf is a small village on the lake Neusiedl. Many thermal springs are situated here. Some are used as therapeutic baths, whilst the water from others is bottled as mineral water. Our Kékfrankos is a wine made with a deep understanding of the region and the place.

This wine was created to show off the true nature of Kekfrankos from Hungary. Planted on well drained Gneiss and Mica Schists, these vines are seventeen to forty-five years old. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel vats on the skins for three weeks before being pressed off into neutral puncheons. Each barrel is treated to a different Sulphur regime depending on the wines needs. After a year or so of élevage, the wine is bottled without fining.

A new natural favorite! 100% Blaufrankisch from the small village of Balf. The nose presents freshly ground black pepper and bruised cherries. Exceptional balance on the palate with plums, herbs, a bit of earthy funk, and more spice. Certified biodynamic, native yeast fermentation & bottled unfined with minimal sulfur.

Pairings: Oat crusted fried herring, garlic herb roast chicken, dry aged beef potstickers
