Story: The wine gains its complexity from two separate harvest times: rather than picking all the grapes at once, some are harvested earlier to preserve acidity and freshness, while others are picked later to add ripeness and depth. This deliberate layering of fruit creates the wine’s distinctive “constructed complexity.”

Story: The name ‘Kéknyelű’ means ‘blue stalk’, it refers to the slightly blue tint of the petiole. Kéknyelű is quite likely of Hungarian origin. Very popular among the winemakers, though it is hard to cultivate. It ripens relatively late therefore it needs protection from the hungry games living in the forests of Badacsony and Szent György mountain. Planting alternate rows with a variety such as Budai Zöld encourages more consistent pollination. In good vintages it gives elegant wine with creamy structure and subtle, fine acidity. Rare grape variety that is capable of giving exceptionally high quality wines.
