Wine Folly, a renowned source of wine education and resources, has recently unveiled its latest offering – a comprehensive guide to Hungarian wines. Hungary, with a winemaking tradition dating back to Roman times, boasts a rich history spanning over two millennia. This tradition has produced an extraordinary range of wine styles, thanks to the unique volcanic terroirs and ancient grape varieties found exclusively in Hungary.
The Hungary Wine Guide takes wine enthusiasts on a journey through the dynamic wine landscape of Hungary, blending imperial traditions with modern innovations. The guide features detailed wine maps that allow readers to explore Hungary’s 22 wine regions with precision and beauty. From the volcanic soils of Tokaj to the Mediterranean-influenced slopes of Villány, each region offers a unique terroir and flavor profile for wine enthusiasts to discover.
One of the key highlights of the guide is its exploration of Hungary’s distinctive grape varieties. From the noble Furmint, known for creating both bone-dry whites and legendary sweet wines, to the spicy Kadarka that once graced royal tables, Hungarian grapes offer a diverse and exciting range of flavors. The guide also delves into how international varieties like Cabernet Franc have found a new voice in Hungarian soil, adding to the country’s winemaking diversity.
In addition to grape varieties, the guide features wine profiles that showcase Hungary’s full spectrum of wines. From the honeyed complexity of Tokaji Aszú, once hailed as “the wine of kings and king of wines,” to the bold reds of Szekszárd and the volcanic whites of Somló, Hungarian wines offer a rich tapestry of flavors and experiences for wine enthusiasts to savor.
The Hungary Wine Guide is now available on the Wine Folly website, providing access to one of Europe’s most distinctive wine cultures.
