Peter Wetzer Sag Olaszrizling

In 2007 Peter Wetzer purchased five different vineyards around the town of Sopron, in the northwest part of Hungary. Born into a winemaking family, he was driven to make wines naturally with minimal intervention. Peter works Kékfrankos on five different vineyard sites that add up to 2.5 hectares. He additionally has 1 hectare of furmint vines planted near the Ság volcano, and another hectare of vines from a few different varieties like Pinot Noir.

This wine is a blend of 60% Olaszrizling and 40% Gemischter Satz (Gemischter Satz is a field-blend of white varietals grown together) from 100-year-old vineyards. In the glass it is straw yellow in colour and slightly hazy. Medium bodied on the palate with honeyed texture, it expresses floral notes of tropical and apple fruits, floral aromas, and woody spice. Gifted with crunchy acidity and a dry finish, this is a very easy drinking wine.
