Wine Description
Benedict White is a classic entry-level blend of the region, consisting of local and international varieties. Welschriesling and Furmint are responsible for freshness and local character, Pinot Gris adds to the body, while Traminer complement aromatic complexity and add international touch.
Benedict White 2019 displays pale golden - yellow colour. Youthful and vibrant on the nose with a very fruity nose displaying continental and tropical fruits. Light bodied and dry with refreshing and lively acidity. Balanced with a good length. This is exactly how we see the picture of an entry level wine in our winery. A lot of taste there!
