Bottles made | 3400 bottles

Vinification

Only perfectly healthy bunches were gently pressed in whole bunches. After pressing, the juice fermented and aged in clay amphoras for 10 month on the fine lees. Bottled unfiened, unfiltered without the additon of So2

2018 was a warm vintage that brought the harvest to the earliest ever 30st of August. The excessive rain caused tropical like conditions that made the plant protection very challenging and naturally halved the entire yield

2019 was a colder year compared to ‘18 that resulted in linear feminin style of wine

2020 was a warmer vintage somewhere in between ‘19 and ‘20 with not a lot of rain. Resulted in thicker skin and lower juice to fruit ratio. What it means in the finished wines is that you will experience deeper and more diverse aroma profiles and rounder acidity.

2021 was cold, wet year with lot disease pressure naturally reducing the yield, resulting in mineral, linear focused wines with great ageing potential.

Bencze - Chenin Blanc 2022
£43.00

A powerful, richly layered Chenin Blanc that shows István’s deep affection for the Loire while remaining unmistakably shaped by the volcanic slopes of Szent György-hegy. This 2022 release comes from a later, riper harvest and reflects a style closer to his beloved 2020 vintage — broad, long, and complex, with a subtle oxidative edge that beautifully complements the wine’s intense fruit. The nose opens with ripe citrus oil, baked quince, white peach and almond cream, lifted by hints of lanolin and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is full and expansive, with impressive length and texture. Notes of yellow apple, bruised pear, mandarin zest, and toasted nuts mingle with a lightly oxidative character, while a touch of volatile lift is already integrating gracefully. Chalky minerality and electric acidity tighten the finish, giving precision to this deep, gastronomic Chenin. A must-try for lovers of the richer, more oxidative Loire expressions.

Age of the vines | Planted 2014 (10 years)

Bottles made | 1300 bottles

Vinification

The Chenin was harvested in three passes — 5, 8, and 12 September 2022 — from the vineyards surrounding the Vinotéka. After gentle whole-bunch pressing in a Scharfenberger pneumatic press, the must was transferred to a mix of second-fill Chassin and Boutes Soleil Burgundy barrels plus an old, well-seasoned 228 L barrique. Fermentation began strongly, then slowed, continuing under a thin veil of yeast (flor) until October 2023, with occasional topping only at key moments.

Following élevage in these smaller barrels, the lots were blended and moved in August 2023 into a 1500 L Garbelotto oak cask, where the wine rested undisturbed until bottling on 4 September 2024. No fining, no filtration, and no added SO₂ — allowing the wine’s ripe fruit, oxidative hints, and innate volcanic precision to shine with absolute honesty.

Interesting Facts

Crazy Lud (translates to Goose from Hungarian) is the flagship field blend that serves as an entry into Oszkár’s world. The wine gets its name from the lake next to the vineyards in the Northern part of the country.
A lot of the vineyards in this region are bush-trained and cultivated by horses because no tractor can fit the narrow rows.

Clay instead of wax or foil

Oszkár’s obsession with ancient techniques combined with his rebellious attitude drove him to yet another invention - instead of plastic caps, or artificial waxes, he used clay to seal the top of the bottle. Probably the closest we ever get to the terroir from the comfort of our home.
The opening is as easy as a firm wax - drive the cross crew trough, pull the cork halfway, gently blow/wipe the clay that comes off, pull the cork and enjoy the wine

Vinification

70% of the grapes were de-stemmed and pressed directly the rest was macerated with the skins for a couple of days to enhance extraction and complexity.

Interesting facts

Oszkár LOVES - one could even say obsessed with - ancient varieties, winemaking methods and history. In this instance, he found a script detailing a vinification method, where the barrel is sealed with wax and not opened (to check and taste the wine) for one year.

Well, it worked. If nature is your guide then time is the key.

Vinification

The grapes come from a single vineyard that was planted in 1969 with a tiny berried clone of Welschriesling.

After harvest in late October, the grapes are de-stemmed and fermented on the skins for 7 days in open vats. The juice then goes into a 1340L - large oak barrel that gets sealed with wax and left to rest for one year.

Bottled by gravity, unfined, unfiltered without the addition of sulphur.

The whole bunches were pressed directly, and fermented naturally with no additives or temperature control. At the right point during fermentation this wild juice gets bottled by hand – serious family job, everybody is helping (mum, dad, brother, the boys, Maria and Alex). Then the bottles are stored in the machine hall and rest until spring. During the first warm days of spring, when the nights are still freezing, the Koppitsch family puts the bottles into the backyard for cooling. After a few days the bottles are cold enough and ready for the final workflow – disgorging. They open every single bottle by hand - Alex is the man - fill it up and seal it again.

A natural blend from biodynamic vineyards around Velm-Götzendorf, named after the village’s historic name "Velue." Grapes are hand-harvested and gently selected. The Riesling spends one day on skins, adding texture and phenolic grip, while Grüner Veltliner is direct-pressed for clarity and freshness. Muskateller sees just five hours on skins and stems, enhancing aromatics without overpowering the blend.

Fermentation is entirely spontaneous in stainless steel at 21–24 °C, preserving the wine’s purity and sense of place. Malolactic fermentation also occurs naturally, softening acidity and contributing roundness. The wine matures for a full year on its full lees with occasional bâtonnage, building texture, depth and subtle complexity while maintaining a clean, vibrant profile. Unfiltered, unadulterated, and crafted with precision.
