Description
What kind of wine it is
Tuzko Birtok Gruner Veltliner is a still white wine with a dry and inviting aromatic profile, made from Grüner Veltliner grapes. In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow colour and a bouquet characterised by floral and citrus notes, enriched by the typical peppery hint of the variety. On the palate, it reveals a marked freshness and a balanced structure, offering a satisfying sip, ideal for pairing with medium-aged cheeses and fish-based dishes.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Hungarian estate of Tuzko Birtok, a winery founded at the end of the eighteenth century and renowned for its historic cellars carved into tuff. The vines grow in the fertile lands of Szekszárd and Tolna, specifically in the vineyards of Bátaapáti and Mőcsény, located within the Pannon region. These particular soil and climate conditions favour the optimal ripening of Grüner Veltliner, giving the wine its vibrant aromatic expression and distinctive spicy character.
How it is produced
In the winery, the selected grapes are destemmed and subjected to a gentle pressing. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at strictly controlled temperatures, below sixteen degrees, to preserve the integrity of the primary aromas. Afterwards, a careful maturation in steel lasting several months allows the wine to stabilise, maintaining its natural gustatory tension and liveliness.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1799, Tuzko Birtok is one of the oldest estates in Hungary and its name means “flintstone”. Owned for centuries by the Counts Apponyi and, since 2000, under the expert management of the Antinori and Mazzei families, the estate combines a noble heritage with modern winemaking excellence. The evocative cellars carved into tuff bear witness to a long and fascinating tradition of wine preservation. This refined Grüner Veltliner embodies genuine passion, celebrating an iconic and inimitable historical heritage.
