Szürkebarát (Pinot Gris) is no stranger to Lake Balaton and has been well documented here since the 13th century. Organically grown in the volcanic soils just 1/3 of a mile from the shore, it’s super creamy without being overly leesy, refreshingly acidic, and with just a little grip from the 2 days of maceration in both barrel and tank. The flavors are ripe along with the salted rim typical of Péter’s wines. No otherwine in the portfolio blurs the line between rosé and skin contact more than this one.

About: "Along the northern shore of Lake Balaton, and nestled in a valley in between the basalt cones of Örsi, Gulácsi, and Tóti we find the wine and food world of Péter Váli. I’m convinced that Péter runs on a small fusion reactor. As we race through the cellar and open countless bottles, he’s also playing with his 4 children, bringing out platters of his wife’s cheese, brother’s deer sausage, his own homemade cured meats, and then cooks from scratch a stand alone amazing meal over an open fire. He doesn’t appear to break a sweat or show any signs of distraction. His wines show an equal measure of focus and joy.
