The intensely volcanic northern Shore of the 50-mile-long Lake Balaton is often a tug of war between overdeveloped summer resort towns and some of Hungary’s most compelling wine country.  Along with 11th century Monasteries, 12th century Churches, and a once vibrant Jewish community, it's often referred to as the Hungarian Sea.  

Rezeda is the Hungarian word for the perfumed Mignonette flower that grows all over the Káli Basin alongside the famous lavender of the area. Romans used it as a sedative to treat injury, the Greeks considered it ambrosial, and Gyula considers it one of the best things to smell in Olaszrizling. The grapes also come from four sites defined by basalt and the resulting saltiness on the palate is the perfect foil to balance said aromatics.  Refreshing and brimming with volcanic saltiness, this is the kind of ripe lakeside fruit trapped in a bottle that would appeal to traders from the North.
