Riesling rules

Riesling is a key variety for us, and we enjoy exploring its many faces. Within a single vintage, we produce several styles: a Mosel-inspired off-dry wine with residual sugar, a fresh stainless steel-fermented version, as well as barrel-aged and spontaneously fermented wines. This results in a diverse and exciting Riesling range to taste.

Some of our wines are aged in our old vaulted cellars, where time plays an important role in shaping their character. The result is a selection of wines in bright, beautiful colors — from pale gold through rosé to deep ruby — reminiscent of the phoenix’s feathers.

Wine tourism with a flexible approach

We warmly welcome guests for wine tastings and aim to stay flexible. On Friday and Saturday afternoons, we are open to even small groups of two, while for groups of ten or more, tastings can be arranged on any day of the week with prior notice. Tastings can be accompanied by light snacks or more substantial cold dishes, always discussed and arranged in advance.

Cseri Blabla aerated sparkling wine, Pannonhalma

Cseri Winery itself is a novelty on Hungarianwines.eu, we are just about to work with this young and ambitious family winery from the must-be-on-the-radar wine region of Pannonhalma. “Blabla” is a funny Hungarian word, it refers to cheerful chatting, usually with not much content. No wonder, the parents were inspired by the discussions of the new generation–and surely these talks contain a lot of “blabla”. But BLA is also the three initials of the three representatives of the younger generation: Barna, Lilla and Aguszta.
Blabla is an aerated sparkling wine made of Pinot Blanc, Rhine Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Traminer. The retail price (winery webshop) is only around 7-8 EUR.
Cseri wines are available in some countries, for example in Poland at Kociolek i Wino (Warsaw). If you want to import Cseri wines, contact the winery.

Csetvei Juhfark Petnat, Somló

Why did I buy a red bag?

I believe that we need to distance ourselves from home a little in order to rediscover ourselves and our goals, to see things in a slightly different light. To this end, I studied in Milan for two semesters on an Erasmus scholarship and spent 10 months as an intern in Zurich as part of the AIESEC program. These years taught me a lot in every respect. After returning home, I was still spreading my wings, first at a small Austrian company, then at a larger American multinational. I gained insight into how companies operate and gained experience in human and workplace relationships, which was also instructive. Then one day, I was called in by HR (which is never a good sign), and they told me that my position had been eliminated and I was being laid off. I admit, the news came as a shock, and that same day I bought the red bag I had been eyeing for four months.
I went home, it was harvest time, and my dad spread his arms wide, asking what I was doing home at 10 in the morning! Okay, I’ll go inside and reflect on my fate today, but tomorrow I’ll join the harvest – there’s no time for depression. I thought of this work at home as a temporary period, but as we know, life turned out differently.

Wine opens doors

At first, I worked in the cellar under my dad’s supervision and did administrative work with my mom while looking for a job. Then one day my dad came to me and said he was organising a trip to Tuscany for Sopron wine region (who wouldn’t want to go to Tuscany?!), followed by the winter fair, which was still a good source of income at the time, and there were many other similar motivating trips and tastings. I saw the other side of this world beyond hoeing, pruning, harvesting, and tank washing – to mention only the hardest or least favourite jobs. Wine opens doors, brings people together, and always connects me with something good, with parties. On the other side, there is a fixed point, a place, but you can travel alongside it, see the world, and grow.

The power of family unity

Then, after a year of working together, my father had a stroke, and there was no question that I would get seriously involved, as he was no longer part of the daily routine. Many people ask me what the secret of our success is, and I would definitely highlight one thing: family unity. Since 2010, the one-man show has been replaced by teamwork, both within the family and at the company. The winery, the family, and I myself have undergone a tremendous transformation. I can smile now when I think back on those initial uncertain steps. Every year, every harvest brings challenges and difficulties, but also many experiences and opportunities. How I see things depends, of course, on my mood and the situation.
Just like the past years, the coming years will also bring positive and negative surprises. Get to know the Babarczi family, the foundation of Babarczi Winery, our present, our future, my colleagues, and me! I invite you to join me on this journey!

A. Gere Kopar Cuvée 2020, Villány

Grapes: Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
How was it made: Fermentation took place in big wooden vat and the malolactic fermentation in wooden barrel. 80% of the wine aged in new, 20% in second use small barrels for 16 months.
Description: Kopar 2020 is a stunningly perfumed, fruity wine that shows elegance, harmony and offers a great ageing potential. This year’s blend is extremely enticing with its rich fruit character. The long ageing potential is of course on par with previous releases.

Gál Tibor Egri Csillag 2024, Eger

Grapes: Olaszrizling, Hárslevelű, Viognier, Tramini, Szürkebarát, Pinot Blanc
How was it made: The grapes were harvested separately, and the fermentation took place at low temperature in stainless steel and soon the wines were blended. Bottled after a short maturation in stainless steel.
Description: Bright and vibrant, it perfectly reflects the freshness and elegance of Eger. A refined wine with aromas of tropical fruits, peach and pear, complemented by a full, mineral taste. The crisp acidity in the mouth preserves the liveliness of the citrus and fruity flavours. Both light and characterful, it’s a perfect choice for everyday enjoyment.
Tibor Gál is famous for his Egri Bikavér red blends, however, he is the creator of the white blend of Eger, Egri Csillag, so let us show a white blend.

Pannonhalmi Infusio 2022, Pannonhalma

Grapes: Merlot and Cabernet Franc
How was it made: After being destemmed, the grapes were fermented in 60 hl stainless steel tanks. The fermentation took place on a temperature of 30-32°C during the first 10 days of the long skin contact. The wine was aged in new and secondly used mostly Hungarian and in a tiny part American 228-litre-barrels for 19 months.
Description: Ripe bramble and cranberry simultaneously appear on the nose, completed by the aroma of vanilla coming from the wooden barrels. The balance of extract sweetness, alcohol and mature tannins results in a mellow taste evoking the concentrated notes of dried sour-cherry and plum as well as coffee and chocolate. It is a serious and elegant wine with Mediterranean notes and a high aging potential.
The wine is sold out at the winery, so, you Belgians are lucky!

Vylyan Montenuovo Cuvée 2021, Villány

Grapes: Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Merlot
How was it made: The varieties and slopes were vinificated separately. Maceration on the skin lasted for 14 to 25 days. Extraction of the grape by open and later closed pumping over. The malolactic fermentation and maturation took place in barrels for 15-20 months. Barrels are made out of Hungarian oak: 80% in 225 l barrels, 20% in 6000 l casks.
Description: Noble wine named after Duke Montenuovo Nandor, who owned parts of the vineyards at the beginning of the 20th century. This wine is a well-balanced blend with a golden mean between the full-bodied and the lively-fruity styles. Its bright, fruity upbeat is filled with diverse scents in which Bordeaux varieties come together in a harmonising accord completed with spiciness of the Syrah.
Vylyan has superb price-quality ratio wines and also unforgettable icons to collect. Montenuovo has a storytelling label, expressing the true personality and deep complexity of the wine.

Sauska – fine dining on a flying saucer

“Stars in the sky, stars in the glass. Sparkling wine bar above the Tokaj vineyards with a view of the universe.” The other end of the country, the other way of feeling good. While the previous three places are relaxed, why-not-sit-on-the-grass places, Sauska Tokaj is a stylish restaurant and wine terrace with award winning architecture and interior design. The estate building is the home of the winery as well, hard to believe, but the unique building is a functioning vinification plant with cellar to ferment the wines.

Where: Rátka 2722 hrsz (Tokaj wine region)
How to get there: By car it takes approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes via M3. By public transport take an Intercity to Szerencs, change into a passenger train to Mád and walk about 25 minutes. Long way, but worth it!

The ‘Tribute to Tokaj’ is a 5-course menu, a great way to discover the treasures of Tokaj with plates like Padi apple pie with apricot jam, Aszú sabayon and vanilla ice cream, paired with Sauska Tokaji Aszú 6 puttonyos 2017. If you just pop in for a glass to enjoy the beauty around you, ask for a glass of Furmint Brut Vintage 2018 from the extensive wine list of Sauska products (including jeroboam bottles).
