Kolonia 52 Description

PLANT

Kolnia 52 is the brainchild of two of the most amazing talents we've seen in recent years. Both Annamaria Torok and Attila Francisti have a wealth of expertise, having worked with some of the pioneers of biodynamic farming, including Stephanie and Edi Tscheppe of Gut Oggau and Gernot and Heike Heinrich. The two have now established themselves in a small house and cellar in the hills of Szent Györgyhegy, a subregion of the Lake Balaton region in Western Hungary, where they cultivate their own Cuvée Grapes grapes of Furmint, Kekfrankos, as well as small parcels of Pinot Noir alongside other local varieties. Plazma is a Cuvee of local varieties consisting of Furmint, Harslevelü, Welschriesling and Juhfark. A light and juicy orange wine, Plazma is racy and full of energy.

Winemakers’ note: “Our biggest vision for the future is working with Furmint. We couldn’t wait until we can harvest the grapes from our own young plantation so we bought organic grapes from Ság-hegy, another basalt volcano in our region.

Grape: Furmint

Vineyard: Ság-hegy, Dénes Birtok. Volcanic soil. Organic grapes bought from a local grower.

Making of: Hand-harvest. The 2021 grapes were partly botrytized (around 5% of them). Direct pressed, sent into a 600-liter big oak barrel for almost a year for a long and slow natural fermentation. Bottled by gravity, without any addition. No filter, no fining.

Personality: balanced, long and velvety with succulent acid backbone.
