#sarhegy
Sunshine in every grape.
We call the Dubicz Winery’s prestigious wines Sárhegy. Not by chance, as these excellent batches originate from the Sár Hill near Gyöngyös, from selected grapes, handled carefully.
Slope
As regards volcanos shaping the landscape of the Mátra, the last one became extinct more than ten million years ago, however, their traces are present in the entire scene, just think of the mountains of Galya-tető or Kékes.
As the southernmost member of former volcanos, still on the surface, the Sár Hill has become a hill of really special composition. It consists of fragmented igneous rocks in the top regions, with loessoid deposit at the bottom, which is one of the best possible combinations together with its southern location for quality wine grapes. Therefore, it is not a surprise that in the last centuries, the entire hill has become one huge vineyard as one of the basic locations of vine growing around Gyöngyös, with a history of around one thousand years.
By reaching the top of the hill, we can see the entire circular panorama of the southern region of the Mátra, while the stone wall-labyrinth of the former parcels gives a very unique atmosphere to the landscape.
Wines
Dubicz Winery has one white wine and one red wine in the Sárhegy category, both of which are single vineyard batches, meaning that they exclusively originate from the Sár Hill-slope. Due to the soil- and microclimatic factors, you can feel the territory’s characteristics and the power of nature in these wines.
Sárhegy Olaszrizling barrique
Matured, straw yellow, a fine wooden cask tone in fragrance. It is felt to be a properly matured material, which is worthy of being aged in wooden casks. The acids and the body are in an elegant balance due to the barrique aging of a few months. It is a complex wine displaying sweet spice, a little bit of anise, quince, pear, yellow greengage and caramel.
Sárhegy Kékfrankos
Single vineyard, premium batch. In this remarkable vintage, our Blue Frankish grown on the Sár Hill, one of the most excellent slopes of the Mátra, produced a wine of exceptional quality. Vanilla and blackberry are the dominant fragrances with an intense flavor of dark chocolate, which is really exciting due to the soft character of the barrique.
Every vintage of our prestigious wines produced on the Sár Hill-slope has been recognized nationally and internationally on a number of occasions in recent years:
