What
100% Olaszrizling – the most planted white grape of Hungary, which has a special importance around Lake Balaton, including the volcanic Somló mountain. It is a balanced sweet wine with 7 g / L acidity and 70 g / L residual sugar.

How
The garpes were harvested by hand. Gentle pressing, quick processing, spontaneous fermentation in barrels and then stopping the fermentation with cooling.

Why
Krisztina Csetvei, owner and winemaker always comes up with new and new witty ideas. Her ‘Rock-Paper-Scissors’ family of wines now has a new member: ‘Drágakő’. (Rock means ‘Kő’ in Hungarian and ‘Drágakő’ is ‘Prescious Stone’ or ‘Gem’.) “The first sweet wine of my life. The scent is dominated by spices, peaches and honey, not overpowering or cloying. Salty and sweet, light and elegant. I think it is unrepeatable.“ 

What to pair with
István Oláh chef of Prónay Castle once created a salty caramel cream dessert matching with the wine. We would also try it with a peach cheesecake.
