The biologically ripe grapes of the different varieties were harvested separately. After destemming the grapes the berries were first selected by an optical sorting machine and then pressed, the cleared juice was put into 500 litre Hungarian oak barrels for the fermentation. Malolactic fermentation also took place in the barrels and the fine lees were regularly stirred for 6 months to increase complexity and to enrich aromas.
Hemina is the Burgundian style white wine of the winery and its composition is adjusted according to the conditions of each vintage. The wine of the recent vintage is based on chardonnay that ensures full body and creamy structure, ornamented with the calcareous minerality and the delicate notes from the aging in used barrels and enriched by the lively fruitiness of viognier and the vivid acidity of sauvignon blanc. It is a complex and rich wine with the ability to further develop with bottle aging.
