Traditional Hungarian red wine with slight cherry taste. — 5 years ago
Fascinating offering from Hungary. Petrol, honey, grill grease, lemon candy, gardenia, dried acacia wood on the nose. Palate starts with a nice zippy ginger lime zest, followed by golden plum, white cherry, honeysuckle, and a touch of woody spice on a medium finish. Well balanced with a rich and nicely polished mouthfeel; like something between an old Riesling and a good ‘wurtz. Ever so slight bitterness at the very end but would def buy again — 2 months ago
Quite spicy and long. Blackcurrant. Balanced. — 4 years ago
‘Örökségül’ is Hungarian for ‘Heritage’ which means something when you know the head winemaker has been spending the last few years ceding control of the modest hand built winery/cellar to his daughter and her husband.
The wine doesn’t just have a cool name, it’s phenomenal. Cab Franc and a blaufränkisch (kekfrancos) blend. The nose is dried rose petals and spice, a bit of earthy leather, like your favorite worn boot. Bright red fruit flavors jump out though, bringing home a really balanced and beautifully structured wine full of cloves and spices hat paired perfectly with this lamb and hummus. — 3 years ago
