The grape — Welschriesling elsewhere in central Europe — is planted everywhere and treated as a workhorse almost everywhere, which makes the handful of sites that take it seriously worth seeking out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlikker is one of those sites: a single vineyard on the volcanic slopes above Lake Balaton, farmed organically by Szent Donát. The wine that comes off it has the orchard-fruit and bitter-almond character the variety gives at its best, but carried on a chalky, mineral length that ordinary Olaszrizling never approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTamás Kovács runs the estate on slopes overlooking Kerekedi Bay, in a landscape where viticulture is documented back to the seventh century and Roman villa ruins sit among the rows. The farming is organic and the stated philosophy is one of preservation — working the way the estate's predecessors did while continuing to develop it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lake matters here too: it moderates temperature and reflects light back onto the slopes, which is why the whites keep their acidity in a climate that would otherwise cook them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrink it with:\u003c\/strong\u003e lake and river fish, roast chicken, fresh cheese, vegetable dishes, or lightly creamy sauces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e St. Donat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Csopak, Balaton, Hungary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olaszrizling (Welschriesling)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Podrum Food \u0026 Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52998827245885,"sku":"HUSTDSLI23","price":59.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/7473\/0301\/files\/St.DonatSlikkerOlaszrizlingWhiteWine750ml.png?v=1789099113","url":"https:\/\/podrum.com.au\/products\/st-donat-slikker-olaszrizling-white-wine-750ml","provider":"Podrum Food \u0026 Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
