Known for a wide range of wine styles using native and international grape varieties, Hungary really can provide something for every palate and budget.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On a cold evening in The Jericho Wine Rooms, Romain, Dom and I, alongside 27 guests, were joined by Audrey Zarach from Malux Hungarian Wine &amp; Spirits for an exploratory evening of just a handful of Hungary\u2019s broad range of wines. In total we tried 6, ranging from bone dry whites, to rich, full-bodied reds, and of course Hungary\u2019s most famous export, the famous sweet wine of Tokaji.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">First up was the <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oxfordwine.co.uk\/products\/etyeki-kuria-zenit\">Etyeki Kuria Zenit 2021<\/a>. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Zenit is a native Hungarian grape, created as a crossing of Ezerj\u00f3 and Bouvier in P\u00e9cs in 1951. This particular example showed wonderful citrus fruits and, typical of Hungarian wines, bright acidity. It also had a delightfully savoury, saline finish that I was particularly fond of. This would be a wonderful wine to match with food, and would reward adventurous pairings!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our second wine of the evening was the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oxfordwine.co.uk\/products\/chateau-megyer-harslevel-tokaji\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ch\u00e2teau Megyer H\u00e1rslevel\u0171 2014<\/span><\/b><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. H\u00e1rslevel\u0171 is another native Hungarian grape (something of a theme for this tasting) and is mostly known for being added to Hungary\u2019s most famous grape Furmint in the blend that makes up Tokaji Asz\u00fa, Hungary\u2019s world-famous sweet wine. However, it can also make very interesting and delicious dry wines, as this example from Chateau Megyer shows. Wonderful peach and apricot flavours and aromas are complemented by notes of honey and petrol, which often means this particular wine is mistaken for German Riesling! Although the most interesting fact is that we were tasting the 2014 vintage, which despite its age, shows no signs of losing it\u2019s intensity of fruit anytime soon!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Afterwards we moved on to the discussion-provoking <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oxfordwine.co.uk\/products\/tuske-pince-panni-siller\">Tuske Pince Panni Siller 2022<\/a>. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Is it a red? Is it a ros\u00e9? In fact it\u2019s neither! Siller is a classification in its own right, and refers to a pale, bright red wine that works well lightly chilled. Tuske\u2019s example is full of bright, crunchy red fruit (think cranberries, pomegranate etc), with notes of white pepper and spice which come from the inclusion in the blend of K\u00e9kfrankos, which is also known as Blaufr\u00e4nkisch.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our next wine saw us move into slightly more familiar territory, with the <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oxfordwine.co.uk\/products\/egri-korona-borhaz-bikaver-eger\">Egri Korona Borhhaz Bikav\u00e9r2019<\/a>. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Bikav\u00e9r<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">may be known to some as Bull\u2019s Blood, (the English translation of Bikav\u00e9r), and was well known when Hungary was part of the Soviet Union, where it was used to make mass-produced, low-quality red wines. Thankfully that style of wine is now a distant memory, as this example from Korona Borhhaz shows. A blend of the previously mentioned K\u00e9kfrankos, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this is a fruit forward wine that shows great complexity and intensity of fruit. Personally, I would love to take this to a BBQ in the summer!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our second red of the evening was the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oxfordwine.co.uk\/products\/tuske-pince-szekszardi-cabernet-franc-szekszard\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Tuske Pince Szekszardi Cabernet Franc 2017<\/span><\/b><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, our first and last foray into a wine comprising entirely international varieties. This one is made by the same wonderful family winemakers that brought us the Siller from further up our list, and is a great example of what Cabernet Franc can do in the wonderful region of Szekszard. Lots of typical Cabernet Franc characteristics (blackcurrant, cassis, bell pepper), but retaining a freshness that would mean this works as well on its own as it does with red meats and roasted vegetables.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our final wine took us into long-awaited sweet territory, with the <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oxfordwine.co.uk\/products\/chateau-pajzos-h-late-harvest-harslevel-tokaj\">Ch\u00e2teau Pajzos \u2018H&#8217; Late Harvest H\u00e1rslevel\u0171<\/a>. <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Late Harvest sweet wines are different to their Asz\u00fa compatriots in that they follow a different production method. Asz\u00fa wines are made with botrytised grapes (noble rot), whereas late harvest wines are made with grapes that, as the name suggests, have been harvested much later without being infected with Botrytis. The extra ripening means that the grapes contain much more sugar, which accounts for the sweetness of the wine. This Late Harvest H\u00e1rslevel\u0171 from Ch\u00e2teau Pajzos was full of rich stone fruit and honey, whilst retaining the refreshing acidity for which H\u00e1rslevel\u0171 is known. Furthermore, judging by the reception of this wine and the post-tasting sales, this was the hands-down favourite of the evening!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Eg\u00e9szs\u00e9gedre! That\u2019s Cheers in Hungarian, but try saying that after a glass of all of the above!<\/span><span
