To investigate
Nefos is a captivating rosé crafted from three native Greek grapes—Xinomavro, Stavroto, and Krasato—grown high in the slate soils of Mount Olympus’s foothills. The 2022 vintage faced five months without rain and scorching temperatures above 40°C for over forty days, creating a distinctive depth and vibrant character. Handpicked grapes were fermented with native yeasts in whole bunches, then rested for eight months in old barriques. Unfiltered and naturally produced, this wine reveals the purest expression of its terroir. Interestingly, the previous 2021 harvest was delayed by heavy rains, resulting in higher sugar levels and a sweeter style. By contrast, the 2022 edition offers an elegant dryness, balanced by fresh acidity and subtle hints of ripe red fruit. Delight in its lightly savory edge and delicate tannins—a wonderful choice for those seeking a rosé that stands apart.

Caviste
Víz (“Water”) is Szóló’s pure Furmint that shows Tokaj in a very clear and refreshing way. The grapes come from the Dukát vineyard, where 40-year-old vines grow on rhyolite volcanic soils. This origin gives the wine its clean, stony minerality and a very focused character in the glass. The wine is made with a gentle, low-intervention approach: whole bunches are pressed, then the juice is fermented and aged for 10 months in steel tanks. It’s bottled unfined, unfiltered and without added sulfur, so what you taste is as close as possible to the grape and place. In the aroma and flavour you’ll find orchard fruits and citrus: green apple, ripe pear and grapefruit, with light floral notes in the background. The palate is dry, with vibrant acidity and a smooth, round mouthfeel that makes it very drinkable. Víz is a great introduction if you want to discover natural Furmint and the volcanic side of Tokaj.
