2021 SANDAHL 'Cottage Cheese'
(rhine) riesling, midrange grade, badacsony, hungary.

Labels

The theme for 2021 is places of residences. Our solid ground grade thus have a simple tent to live in.

Weather

A wet and cold spring delayed the flowering, so despite the long and dry summer, at the autumn the grapes was nut ripened early than average. For that reason the harvest begun even a bit late in middle of October.

The 2021 vintage was very good for us, but due to our tremendous problems with the 2021 bottling, we had to mix all most fractions into one blend, but despite the large amount of 3rd quality, the blend live up to the mid range grade.
