WINE Community wine of the Neszmély wine region

With respect for each other's opinions and activities, the six wineries that make up the Neszmélyi BORvidékÉrt (‘For the Neszmély Wine Region’) Association have established a set of rules based on clearly defined principles to regulate the origin, cultivation and processing of grapes and the vinification and ageing of wines. The result is #Neszmély, a wine reflecting the diversity, lightness and depth of the wine region. The community wine will be marketed under a shared brand name and with the same image, but it will still bear the hallmarks of the individual winemakers’ philosophies. The first #Neszmély wine was made by five wineries - Szivek Cellar (Kesztölc), Petőcz Winery (Ászár), Bősze Winery (Ászár), Kősziklás Winery (Dunaszentmiklós) and the most famous name in the wine region, Hilltop Neszmély Winery.

What #Neszmély embodies

"This bottle of wine is Neszmély itself. It encapsulates all the characteristics of this extended northern wine region, the hills and valleys of Neszmély, the deep-warm loess soil, the cooler climate, the endlessly winding Danube. The exhilarating freshness, the crisp acidity, the rich, complex, intense aromas and fragrances, the wonderful harmony", Ákos Kamocsay says about #Neszmély. The co-owner and head winemaker of Hilltop Neszmély Winery and iconic figure of Hungarian winemaking has also added that by creating a community wine, the aim was not to produce a top-quality wine, but a wine style that reflects the region, the typical varieties grown there, year in, year out. According to Szabolcs Emmer, President of the Neszmélyi BORvidékÉRT Association, their aim is to make #Neszmély a blend that is easy to understand, lively, fruity and refreshing, where the individual character of the base varieties does not dominate the blend. “The wine should reflect the lightness and verve of the Neszmély wine region. This is why the basic varieties of Királyleányka, Olaszrizling, Riesling, Müller Thurgau, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and the aromatic varieties of Irsai Olivér, Cserszegi Fűszeres, Muscat Blanc are the heart and soul of the blend." Szabolcs Emmer, the owner-winemaker of the Kősziklás Winery in Dunaszentmiklós, founded in 2008, was one of the masterminds behind the #Neszmély community wine and has also played a major role in its creation and implementation.
