“Water is the ancient element that I was born in, therefore I desire its presence in everything. [...] Of course, there are exceptions here too. Somló is the first one that springs to mind. Because Somló wine is the wine of the fire, grown on a volcano. There is no body of water next to Somló. Its hill rises out of the plain in the shape of a crown. From all our wines, Somló wine is the par excellence for me.”

(Béla Hamvas: Philosophy of Wine - extract translated by PCsH)
