One of the winery’s most important wines is this elegant blend of indigenous Olaszrizling and Riesling, which perfectly reflects the “Paloznak” style. The fruits come from the best parcels around the estate, where the soil is typically Permian red sandstone and marl. The vineyards are under organic transition.
The Homola Rizling tastes fresh, juicy with a good acidity carrying the well known flavours of Csopaki Olaszrizling: citrusy, zesty with almond and a hint of saltiness.
