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.
