Homola Rizling 2023, Balatonfüred

Homola wines will be poured under the name of Fine Wine Association along with Vida wines. The winery is located on the north shore of Lake Balaton, thus it was obvious for them to bring the “wine of the lake”, a blend with Olaszrizling base. Rizling is 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. 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.
Guests can also taste two Kékfrankos wines and the refreshing 100% Balaton wine.
