Discover the grape variety: Roublot
Simple dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and is among the heritage grape varieties being studied. Rare French white grape, once cultivated in the South-West.

The wine region of Nagy-Somló
Smallest AOC in Hungary, around an isolated extinct volcano in Transdanubia, 100% basaltic bedrock. Juhfark signature as king white ("sheep's tail", almost exclusive native): opulent and mineral with yellow apple, citrus, honey, toasted almond, herbs and a volcanic smoky touch, high acidity and long ageing — known as "wine of the wedding night" under the Habsburgs. Taut Furmint, floral Hárslevelű (linden, honey), zippy Olaszrizling. Outstanding whites, rivals of Tokaj.
The wine region of Balaton
Hungarian region around the largest lake in Central Europe, 6 zones including volcanic Badacsony. Signature Olaszrizling (Welschriesling), Hungary's most planted grape: lively, mineral whites with signature notes of almond, citrus, green apple, white flowers and a herbaceous touch, a crisp finish - a typical thirst-quenching wine. Also round Szürkebarát (Pinot Gris), ample Chardonnay, rare native Kéknyelű. Basalt in the north, lakeside climate.
The word of the wine: Concentrator
A device that removes water from grape must by reverse osmosis or entropy system. Its proponents say that it is better to remove water than to add sugar to produce more alcohol. The improperly used concentrator can also exaggerate bad tastes or greenness of tannins.
