Story:  Kéknyelű is an old indigenous Hungarian winery grown exclusively in Badacsony wine region. Accordingly the wine called Badacsonyi Kéknyelű is listed among the Collection of Hungarian Values.
Producers of Badacsony wine region decided to bottle their Kéknyelű in 'antique blue' bottle to make it stand out on the shelf and to reflect the name – 'Kéknyelű' means 'Blue stalk' referring to the bluish stalk of the clusters.
