RÓZA 2025

Róza is Kékfrankos made pale and light — the most easygoing bottle in Péter Nagyváradi's cellar. The grape is usually asked to be dark and structured. Here it gets to be fresh fruit and little else: raspberry, cherry, a flick of citrus, and just enough grip from the skins to keep it from being only juice.

Péter works about two hectares on Lake Balaton's northern shore, spread over small parcels on limestone and volcanic ground, and buys organic fruit from neighbouring growers for his entry wines. Everything goes through the same quiet routine in his Balatonfüred cellar: used barrels, native yeasts, one racking, no fining, no filtration.

Pour it cold, in the afternoon, and let it go.
