The wine region of Hajós-Baja
Southern Hungarian region (Telecska hills near the Danube), fine loess soils slightly clayey with ideal carbonate content, 18th-century German tradition. Signature Kekfrankos as red king: spiced and structured with black cherry, blackberry, plum, pepper, paprika and smoked touch, firm tannins and freshness — "land of wine and fish". Supple Kadarka and firm Cabernet Franc as complements. Taut Riesling, ample Chardonnay and aromatic Cserszegi Fuzeres in whites.
The wine region of Duna
Hungary's largest wine region (= Alföld) between the Danube and Tisza, favourable continental climate on sandy and loess soils. Kékfrankos is the signature king red with cherry, raspberry, spice and a peppery touch, supple tannins and lively acidity. Kadarka and Zweigelt as full-bodied fruity reds. Olaszrizling (Welschriesling), aromatic Cserszegi Fűszeres, Kövidinka and Riesling as fresh whites with citrus, white flowers and a honeyed hint.
The word of the wine: Second fermentation
In the making of champagne, fermentation of the base wine to which is added the liqueur de tirage and which takes place in the bottle. This second fermentation produces the carbon dioxide, and therefore the bubbles that make up the effervescence of the wine.
