Tricollis White 2022

Due to its strict technological processing, this wine delivers the fresh and crispy flavours of early summer fruits with its floral and pleasant aromas during its first months after bottling while exhibits the deeper character of the Riesling varieties for the following months and years. The harvested grapes are first destemmed and selected by an optical sorting machine and then they are crushed and pressed except Gewürztraminer that has a one-day-long cold maceration before being pressed. Following settling and clearing the juices are fermented by specific yeast cultures under controlled temperature conditions. The rapid, oxygen-free processing technology makes it possible to transfer the primary characteristics of the grape juices into the wine.

Pannonhalma Archabbey

The Benedictine monks who settled on the Sacred Mount of Pannonia in 996 A.D. have always been closely connected with the viticulture of the region first introduced by the Romans. The monks worked to convert the pagan Hungarians, founding the country's first school and, in 1055, writing the first document in Hungarian. From the time of its founding, this monastic community has promoted culture throughout central Europe. Its 1,000-year history can be seen in the succession of architectural styles of the monastic buildings (the oldest dating from 1224), which still today house a school and the monastic community. By the beginning of the 20th century, the Abbey held about 100 hectares of vineyards in the direct vicinity of Pannonhalma, and it also owned plantations on the Somló Hill and in Tokaj. Its bottled wines, both white and red, were sold in Hungary as well as abroad far beyond the borders of what was then Greater Hungary. The political and social upheaval that followed World War II temporarily put an end to the centuries-old tradition when the single-party state confiscated the Abbey’s vineyard holdings and winery. However during the decades that followed, the monks never gave up hopes of reviving the legacy of excellence one day. Finally, 10 years after the collapse of Communist rule, plans for rebirth took shape. Today the Archabbey of Pannonhalma once again exemplifies the excellence of Hungarian wines receiving recognition in 1996 as a UNESCO world Heritage site.
