Such a crisp and refreshing white wine! This is Müller Thurgau, but labelled with the Hungarian name of the variety (“Rizlingszilváni”, good luck pronouncing it). Light at 12% alcohol, almost as delicate as a Mosel Riesling – but it’s dry and as you would expect, less aromatic. Lovely, flowery, grapey scent. It’s very light but surprisingly persistent and long in flavor – something I often notice in Kősziklás wines and which is really uncommon at this price tag. A perfect everyday white for the summer, and amazing value.
Rating: good, 85 points.
Price: 5 Euros at Borfalu Bortéka (wineshop in Budapest).
Value: more than great! I’m buying more.
