Alcohol: 12.5%

Tímea Éless represents the "Earth" element in her elemental series with Föld, sourcing 80% Furmint and 20% Hárslevelű from 60-year-old biodynamic vines in Tokaj's Sipos–Palota vineyard. The hand-harvested grapes undergo gentle whole-cluster pressing before fermenting naturally in 675-litre egg-shaped vessels. The shape allows continuous natural lees circulation over five to ten months of ageing, building depth and texture without using any oak. It is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with zero added sulphur.

Deeply grounded and mineral-driven, it opens with white peach, green apple, and linden blossom alongside a distinct smoky, wet-stone undertone and subtle herbal spice. The palate delivers a rounded, almost creamy texture carried by a laser-precise line of acidity that culminates in a long, saline, and stony finish. Serve it lightly chilled alongside roasted chicken, grilled sea bass, or herb-forward vegetable dishes.
