A newcomer to the Hungarian wine scene. You can tell from the eye-catching design that it’s a low intervention wine – and it tastes like that indeed.
I’m skeptical about low SO2 wines but this one is not bad. Still, I would only recommend it if you love this style. Great intensity for such a pale colored and fragile wine, you can tell it’s not cheap. But it’s quite funky, loaded with animalistic, leathery notes (think horses), and missing any varietal character. Quite lean and dry tasting, high acidity and not much, but drying tanning make it feel raw and edgy. I found it interesting for the first glass, but then concluded that it’s not something I would like to drink.
