The wine region of Hungary
Millennia-old Central European wine country, 65,000 ha across 22 regions, 70% whites. Legendary Tokaji Aszú (UNESCO): golden botrytised sweet wines with signature notes of honey, candied apricot, orange peel and spice, taut acidity — one of the world's greatest sweet wines. Dry Furmint booming (lively and mineral), perfumed Hárslevelű. Egri Bikavér ("Bull's Blood") as a fleshy Kékfrankos red.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
