Sabar Wine House – Olaszrizling Hegybor 2016

The Olaszrizling [Welschriesling] Hegybor [hill wine] is characterised by citrus fruits, white flower and almond on the nose with a hint of minerals. It is an elegant, well-balanced and rich wine with lively acidity and complex structure, which is the result of ageing in premium oak barrels. The grape is from Csobánc hill, which is aged for 8 months in 500 litre, lightly toasted barrels (Stockinger and Trust).

Káli Kövek Winery – Frizzante 2017

The Frizzante 2017, as the name might suggest, is a light sparkling wine made by mixing two grape varieties: Chardonnay and Juhfark. It has quite a reserved scent and a dominant fruity-herbal flavour, but with a hint of citrusy sourness. It does not have as much alcohol as other wines. Femina recommends having fresh cheese and summer fruits with this particular wine.
