Gilvesy Bohém Balatoni Cuvée 2024

Robert Gilvesy's story is one of convergence. Born in Ontario to Hungarian parents, he first channeled his creativity into architecture before a pull toward his roots led him to Hungary. There, he applied a designer's precision to a new medium: organic viticulture on the volcanic slopes of Mount Szent György.

On 13 organic hectares overlooking Lake Balaton, Gilvesy lets the land lead. Farming without force. In the cellar, the philosophy holds: native yeasts, minimal intervention.

This wine is the product of that vision. A vibrant, anarchic blend of Olaszrizling, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and a splash of Pinot Gris that hums with volcanic energy. Fermented with wild yeast and aged for six months on lees in stainless steel. The nose is fresh cut cucumber, wild mint, sage, thyme, a squeeze of lemon. The palate is bright and zesty, racing with green apple and citrus peel toward a finish as clean and refreshing as a dip in Balaton at dusk.

Pair it with grilled white fish with dill and lemon, or a zesty shrimp ceviche.
