If you are wandering around Tokaj wine region, Patricius Winery is a must. It is easy to find and the estate offers great wines, cellar visits, vineyard tours and – our favourite – a picnic with a basket full of local delicacies. The winery has a great bottle fermented sparkling wine, but you can also try the light-hearted bubbly by Patricius named Giorgio!

Giorgio, a charming guy

Giorgio is an easy drinking sparkling wine made with the usual high standards of Patricius. The estate is famous for its single vineyard dry Furmint wines and the noble, multi award winner Tokaji Aszú wines, yet the estate wants to entertain winelovers with something ultimately refreshing and easy to understand. Giorgio 2024 is an aerated sparkling wine made of Furmint and Yellow Muscat, fermented and matured in stainless steel tank. It contains 7.9 g/l residual sugar, nicely balanced with its 6.2 g/L acidity.  “The intense fruity aromas of Muscat Blanc and nice acidity from Furmint are the basis of this refreshing, softly sparkling frizzante. It contains light and elegant residual sugars that are followed by long-finished citrus flavours. It will freshen you up anytime and anywhere, when consumed well chilled.”

Patricius Brut – if you want something more serious

A terroir sparkling wine made by traditional method shows the characteristics of the volcanic Tokaj soil. Hárslevelű, Furmint and Yellow Muscat blending. The fruity notes of Hárslevelű and Yellow Muscat are nicely completed by the amazing acidity of the Furmint and the signs of bottle fermentation and ageing.
