Taut, structured whites with cutting acidity and a mineral mouth, featuring aromas of apple, quince, citrus, honey, smoke and chalk notes. Made as ambitious dry wines (Tokaji száraz, Somló), off-dry and especially sumptuous botrytised sweet wines: Tokaji Aszú (legendary, classified by puttonyos) and Tokaji Eszencia. Highly susceptible to noble rot. The absolute star of Tokaj in Hungary, also in Slovakia, Slovenia (Šipon) and Austria. Native Hungarian grape.
Croatia's smallest wine region in the northern Mesopotamia (~300 m altitude between Drava and Mura rivers, rounded hilltops, rich mineral soils, coolest climate in the country with moderate summers and winters suited to ice wine, quality renaissance by young generation): Pušipel is the autochthonous local white signature — light and crunchy with taut, easy-drinking acidity. Sauvignon Blanc, Graševina, Riesling, Muscat, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay as lively whites, Pinot Noir as red.
