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.
Western tip of Hungary on the Austrian border, historic cradle of Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch). Climate tempered by Lake Neusiedl, schist and loess soils. Kékfrankos signature as king red: spicy and fresh with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, pepper, leather and dried herbs, firm tannins and lively acidity — medium-aged elegance. Supple juicy Zweigelt (cherry, raspberry), peppery Cabernet Franc, round Merlot.
