ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Úrágya 63 is produced from the Szespys' 5.6 hectare slice of a vineyard of roughly 70 hectares. The vines here were planted between 1964 and 1982 in soils of red clay and sandy quartz, with pebbly topsoil. The clay adds weight and width here, punctuated by stone fruit and creamy almond. This is a deeply serious and beautiful wine!
