Wine notes:

This supple, well-balanced first vintage Sec is delicate and precise with a serious round body. The beauty of the wine is immediately evidenced in the glass, a pale yellow color highlighted by green and silver reflections with a nose of elder flowers and citrus fruit to match. Tart fruitiness from our Percze vineyard and racy acidity from Becsek in the body bring life to the wine which begins cool in the mouth. A refined minerality in the finish completes a wine with great finesse. No traces of carbon dioxide are found in the wine, yet it feels like the mouth is up against a crisp champagne.

Reviews:

"It's invigorating, with the electricity and petrol of Riesling but remarkably opulent, with rich peach, melon and moss notes. The weight, complexity and fine-line acidity hint at both richer white Loire wines (Huet's Noel Pinguet helps run Kiralyudvar) and white Burgundy." - Jon Bonné, Chronicle Wine Editor   (In Our Glasses: What we're drinking | San Francisco Chronicle, August 2008)
