Kpo says: Ladies and Gentlemen, This is MY WINE!!! See my face there???

Hárslevelű is one of the permited grapes of Tokaj wine region, but it is alslo widely planted in different wine regions across Hungary. In the cooler region of Eger it is a beautifully aromatic expression with plenty of freshness and delicate acidity. This wine has wonderfully floral aromatic qualities with a palate of honeyed lime, orange, peach, apricot and stone fruits with a mineral finish.

Producer

János (“Jani”) Bolyki comes from a family with winemaking traditions, but he has completely re-invented winemaking at the family estate. Known for his interesting blends, wacky labels and friendly wines, Jani is a popular figure in the young Hungarian wine scene. His vineyards encompass 27 hectares of the Eger region, while the cellars are carved straight into the rock-face.

His wines follow the general wine making style of the region, but somehow, each of his wines have a fresh and lively character that make them feel a world apart from older Eger wines. His wines have a distinctly youthful and modern touch, putting a new twist on Eger’s classic style.
