Vineyard tours restart at Sol Montis, Mátra

“Zitakötő” is a semi sweet white wine created by the father, the founder of the winery to his daughter, Zita, who is also a winemaker and an ambitious manager of not only the estate, but the wine region is well (she is the president of Mátra Council of Winemakers).
The name of the wine is a pun: ‘szitakötő’ is dragonfly in Hungarian, a sleek, beautiful insect of spring meadows, the beginning of the word is replaced with Zita, the name of the daughter.
The wine is made of Muscat grape, some of the berries were shrivelled at the time of harvest, therefore the residual sugar is 20.7 g /l, and the wine is abundant in floral notes. Fermentation took place after 2 hours of soaking, ageing in stainless steel tanks. Spicy notes mingle with flowers and white flesh fruits, and the taste lingers on for a long time after tasting.

Ideal with light, fruity desserts or just by itself in the afternoon, sitting on the terrace and watching dragonflies…
