Jász Laci is part of Hungary’s new generation of natural winemakers—working low-intervention vineyards on volcanic soils, crafting soulful wines that whisper rather than shout. Setting Sun is one of his most delicate and expressive bottlings: a blend of indigenous Hungarian varieties (often Kékfrankos-led), farmed organically and fermented with native yeasts.
The 2022 vintage is feather-light but packed with detail: crunchy red currants, wild strawberries, peppery spice, and a cool, rocky minerality underneath. It’s semi-translucent in the glass—almost rosato in color—and silky on the palate, with bright acidity and a soft, lingering finish.
It’s the kind of wine that feels made for twilight hours: gentle, glowing, and quietly alive. Chill it down slightly and watch it evolve over the course of a meal (or an evening under the open sky).
Pair with: grilled trout, roasted root vegetables, herby salads, or a sunset picnic.
