Somlói Top Selection Szent Ilona Olaszrizling, 2019

The nose displays juicy pears, grapefruit and sophisticated oak aromas. The palate offers notes of vanilla with citrus fruit and hints of minerality. The rounded acidity provides freshness. The most beautiful grapes from the vineyard in front of the winery were selected to make this wine. The ageing in oak has given the wine extra richness and excitement. This is a wine that is worth laying down for further ageing.
