Terroir
Natural factors
- The high mineral content of Tihany's soils develops pronounced mineral flavour notes and a ripe acid structure.
- The shallow surface of Lake Balaton reflects sunlight, helping the hillsides to warm evenly and gradually in spring.
- Tihany's early last spring frost date reduces the risk of frost damage, ensuring steady shoot growth and optimal ripening.
Product characteristics
- Ripe, expressive acid structure and mineral flavour notes: attributable to the high mineral content of Tihany's soils.
