Soil: The wine region is characterized by a continental climate, a volcanic rock base (of andesite, rhyolite, and tuffs thereof), and black soil formed upon it

Vinification: The base is made from 100% Furmint. After the first fermentation, aszú berries were added to the fermented dry wine and left to soak. The first fermentation takes a minimum 6 months. Barrel ageing  takes place in the traditional centuries old Szegi cellar, where the temperature stays at 10-12° C,  and the humidity is very high (more than 80%). The barrels are made of aged Hungarian oak from Zemplén hill and middle toasted. The ageing time is a minimum 18 months.
