Story, awards: Timeless wine made of great fruit – this is Analóg, a white blend made of Sauvignon Blanc, Tramini and Olaszrizling. “When we blended together with the Kristinus’ team, we found a simply pure and naturally good wine right before our eyes. The wine was eventually called Analóg, because of the timeless things made from valuable raw materials and the proven old methods” – says Bortársaság (the Hungarian ‘Wine Society’), a company who participated in the birth of Analóg.
