boundaries,

beyond
expectations.

Etyek's potential for Burgundy varieties and sparkling wines is undeniable. The cool climate, limestone-rich soils, thin-skinned clones, and base wines with vibrant acidity all bear witness to this. With every vintage, my aim is to showcase the character of this unique terroir with the utmost precision and the least possible intervention, without compromise.

Join me as I push the boundaries of this legendary wine region beyond expectation.

Sauvignon Blanc

2024

Four parcels, four different harvest dates, and four distinct, separately vinified lots come together in a blend that forms the foundation of one of my most characterful and complex Sauvignon Blancs yet.

The grape’s signature vibrant green notes and expressive aromatics are complemented by fine nuances: on the palate, there is both substance and creaminess, balanced by a delicate bitterness and a touch of salinity.

Chardonnay

2024

The high limestone content of the soils and the cool microclimate characteristic of Etyek provide an exceptional foundation for Chardonnay. On the south- to southwest-facing slopes, which are constantly exposed to the wind, the grapes ripen slowly, preserving their natural acidity while developing increasingly complex aromas.

The must, pressed from top-quality fruit, is transferred into Burgundy barrels, where it matures on the lees for a year after fermentation. With weekly bâtonnage, it develops the creamy, rich texture this wine is known for.

Pinot Noir

2024

Pinot Noir is one of my favourite varieties – some might say I’m obsessed with it. With this wine, I draw on my experience in Napa Valley while also striving to showcase the Old World expression of the variety.
