WINE DESCRIPTION
Pannonhalmi Apátsági Tricollis White is a distinctive blend crafted by the esteemed Pannonhalmi Apátsági Winery. Hailing from the Pannonhalma wine region, Hungary, this unique white wine is an artful composition of 45% Welschriesling, 30% Riesling, 15% Gewürztraminer, and 10% Pinot Blanc. The vineyards, situated on a plateau with south and southwest slopes, boast a diverse soil composition, including sand, loess soil, clay, and brown woodland soil. The winemaking process is meticulous, beginning with destemming and optical sorting, followed by crushing and pressing. Notably, the Gewürztraminer undergoes a one-day-long cold maceration before pressing. After settling, the juices ferment under controlled temperature conditions, resulting in a wine that harmoniously balances the varietals' characteristics, offering a complex and refreshing experience for wine enthusiasts.

ORIGINS
Winery: Pannonhalmi Apátsági
Region: Upper Pannon
Once significant in wine production, the Upper Pannon region has declined in prominence. Its cool climate and Danube River location facilitated early development, with a rich cultural and winemaking heritage dating back to Roman times. Renowned for high-acidity white wines, it's minimally affected by global warming. Wines are transitioning to fuller-bodied profiles, with expanding sparkling wine production and exploration of Pinot Noir potential. Spanning varied hills and soils, it cultivates grapes across 5,500 hectares, from Kékfrankos to Chardonnay.CUSTOMER RATING
