Kamocsay Premium Ihlet Cuvée 2021

Goose liver is one of the most important export products of Hungary: more than 1700 tons are produced. So why not pair it with one of the greatest Hungarian winemakers’ premium white called ‘Ihlet’ meaning ‘Inspiration’?

“When winemaking becomes art, the outcome is a work of art. This cuvée is a wine of love. Made of the favourites, the pick of the winemaker. The essence of the Kamocsay brand.” Ákos Kamocsay has not only received the award Winemaker of the Year in Hungary, but he won a similar award in the United Kingdom as well. The winery – Hilltop Neszmély – is situated in Neszmély wine region and most known about their approachable, fresh, aromatic wines. Kamocsay Preimum wines are the namecards of the chief winemaker, his philosphy is best reflected in these bottles.
Ihlet Cuvée is always a blend, however the components and their proportions vary according to the vintages. 2021 vintage is made of Hárslevelű, Pinot Gris and Chenin Blanc, fermented and matured in stainless steel tank under controlled temperature. Juicy, fruity, creamy, full bodied – a complex wine, therefore we can pair it with rich dishes like goose liver. Here is a simple recipe.

What are those lines on the label?

Hilltop Neszmély has undergone full redesign with the so called aroma profile charts in focus. Aroma circle is an exciting tool: every wine occupies a different shape in the circle depending on the aromas it is abundant in. The new labels arrived at the shelves last year and the acknowledgement came quickly: Hilltop won „Packaging of Premium & Luxury Drinks Innovation Award” in Paris!
