Turay Liquid Summer: A Handcrafted Taste of Neszmély Summer

Turay Liquid Summer is a minimal-intervention natural white blend (cuvée) crafted by the Turay Family Winery, who farm in Baj, in the Neszmély wine region. The wine captures the lightness of summer while being made with an exciting, hands-on craft technique. If you're looking for a fresh, crisp natural wine with just enough complexity for warm evenings, this cuvée is made for exactly that moment.

The Origins and Grape Varieties of Turay Liquid Summer

The wine is built from a blend of two rare and exciting Hungarian grape crossings, Generosa (Ezerjó × Piros Tramini) and Rozália (Olaszrizling × Piros Tramini), grown on a 15-year-old vineyard in Neszmély. The estate practices biodynamic farming, rooted in Rudolf Steiner's holistic philosophy, using homeopathic herbal teas and natural preparations. Alcohol content is 12% v/v.

Winemaking

Fermentation is entirely spontaneous, driven by wild yeasts. Depending on the vintage, part — or sometimes all — of the batch spends a few days on the skins, with hand punch-downs adding extra character and texture to the wine. After fermentation, the individual batches are blended and aged for several months in modern granite eggs, amphorae (such as Tava amphorae), or on fine lees using the battonage technique. The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined, with no added sulfites or only a minimal amount, preserving the grape's pure, raw character.

Tasting Notes

The wine is remarkably light, fresh, and crisp. Its flavor and aroma are dominated by vibrant, light apple notes and delicate fruitiness, made more complex by subtle spicy, floral hints from the red tramini parentage. Being unfiltered, it shows a pale, natural haze that signals its natural origin right in the glass.

Food Pairing

A perfect companion for a warm summer evening on the terrace. It pairs beautifully with fresh Mediterranean dishes, grilled chicken, fruity salads, light cheeses, or even a good artisan pizza.
