Tasting notes
A blend of several vineyards and 10–11 months in François Frères oak. Chosen because Moser loves it and wants to show a very expensive wine and to show what good value Hungarian wine can be! Tasted blind. Very deep colour – almost Provence rosé colour! Savoury nose and then real concentration but excellent balance. Power! No shy, retiring flower, though more delicate than the MM55 Furmint because the oak handling is non-intrusive. (JR)

About the producer
Kistler’s Chardonnays are some of the world’s most sought-after. This cult Californian producer crafts small volumes of exceptional, rich and generous, yet mineral and precise wines. With almost the entire production sold directly to their mailing list, the wines are also incredibly hard to find.
