Description: Golden hue, suggests a matured wine. Ripened, mineral aromas with some petrol notes. Firm acidity, but perfectly in balance with the masculine, full-bodied wine. Toasted almonds and citrus on the palate, followed by marzipan and grapefruit on the finish. It lingers long, continuously revealing new depths. A wine for patient and wise people.

Technology: We, at Barta, only make a pezsgő, that is, sparkling wine in vintages that perfectly suit the purpose – and 2017 was exactly such a vintage.

Residual extract: 17.9 g/l

Terroir, vineyard: Király (1st class, historically classified cru)

Harvest: September 2019

Vintage: In January we started pruning in the frost, then February begun with a sudden thaw. The spring period also put pressure on the viticulture. Drought in March, rainfalls during late spring, constant wind during warming up and the proliferation of insects all made us face challenges. With our well-thought-out interventions we managed to prevent diseases, so the vineyards could develop perfectly throughout the summer months. Although the warm early autumn days and the constant winds meant further difficulties, 18 days after the start of harvest we could have another 100% dry harvest behind us!
