The 2022 Moric Balaton Riesling/Furmint is an intriguing white blend from Hungary, created by Austrian winemaker Roland Velich. This wine offers a complex aromatic profile of ripe citrus, green apple and stone fruit, interwoven with notes of wet stone, smoke and a distinctive saline character. On the palate, it is dry, vibrant and textural, with a taut acidity and a savoury minerality that provides tension and length. Moric sources the grapes for this blend from old-vine parcels around Lake Balaton. These vineyards are characterised by a combination of volcanic soils (basalt), limestone and loess.
