Laposa Család Pincészet, Bazaltbor Badacsonyi Rozsakő 2007

Laposa családi pincészet is located in Badacsony just off the famous Romai út on the southern slope of a hill with an absolutely fantastic view overlooking their vineyards that makes one want to turn off their computer monitor, hand in their letter of resignation, and leave for the hills there because that must be “the life”. Here we tasted the Laposa family’s Bazaltbor Badacsonyi Rozsako, 2007, a wine that is as exceptional as it is unique. Unlike most grapevines in the world today that are self-pollinating, this wine is a cross between two varieties that pollinate each other, the Budai zöld (male variety) and the Kéknyelű (the female). These grapes are unlike any other in the world and their cultivation is an homage to the traditional winemaking practices of our ancestors.
