Flavor Profile

Maeijer & Leemans Welschriesling Amphora 2024 is made from grapes sourced from the Csopak wine region, and was naturally fermented and matured entirely in amphora.

Alongside its characteristic reseda (mignonette) aroma, the palate is dominated by green apple, white-fleshed peach, pear, citrus notes, and the region’s distinctive mineral character. The concentrated, fruit-driven palate is further enhanced by a few grams of residual sugar and lively medium acidity, adding depth and complexity.

PRODUCER INFORMATION

Producer: Maeijer & Leemans

Maeijer & Leemans winery was founded by Dutch-born Jürgen Maeijer and Belgian ceramist Pieter Leemans. Jürgen had been visiting the Pécs area regularly since the 1980s and gradually developed a deep connection to its landscape. Today, the winery’s cellar is located in Jürgen’s home near the Basilica in the heart of Pécs, while their vineyards are situated in Hosszúhetény.

Maeijer & Leemans take a distinctive approach to winemaking: their wines ferment in stainless steel tanks before maturing in locally made amphorae crafted by Pieter himself. All of their wines ferment spontaneously, with Kékfrankos, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot among their principal varieties.

Their current range also includes a Welschriesling sourced from Csopak, which is currently their sole white wine. With further releases in the pipeline, however, their white-wine portfolio is one to keep an eye on.
