Miklós Csabi Chardonnay 2025

This is my "go-to" wine—the one I enjoy sipping while sitting back to think and make plans. I love wines that are meant to be enjoyed in generous gulps. It is the wine I choose when I am content and celebrating the day. The label captures this very feeling: a deckchair, a sunset, and a sense of satisfaction.

The Cserhát vineyard lies at one of the lowest points of the wine region, at an elevation of 225 meters above sea level. The site features loess and sandy soils that are easy to cultivate and offer excellent water retention—perfect conditions for producing light, fruity wines. This is a Chardonnay blend. We harvest the same 1.5-hectare Chardonnay plot in three separate stages.
First, in the opening week of September, we harvest one-third of the crop to capture aromatics and intense acidity. In the third week of September, we harvest the second third for ripe, fruity flavors. Finally, in the second week of October—with the leaves already turning yellow—we harvest the last third to build alcohol content. This final batch ferments and matures in 400-liter wooden barrels. We blend the three batches together before bottling, resulting in a sophisticated, complex, and mature wine.

Food pairing: smoked fish and meats, risotto.
