Szubkultura is Bence Szilagyi's Riesling experiment. Though the grapes came from the same plot as those destined for their other wine ‘Szikra’, Szubkultura’s grapes are picked earlier and see seven days of whole bunch maceration. The wine is matured for a year on the lees in 500L Hungarian oak barrels after a gentle pressing. Szubkultura is unfiltered, unfined, and contains no added sulphur. Honeyed, with notes of apricot and a classic Riesling note of petroleum, Szubkultura is pushing the boundaries of Hungarian wine. Only 600 bottles were made, making this a very limited bottling.
