“In its 21st Annual Competition, this is the most subscribed CWSA to date” – comments CWSA (Chinese Wine & Spirit Awards) on the announcement of the latest results. Though the exact number is not mentioned, the list of medal winners is quite long, see below. There is only one Hungarian wine among the medal winners, but this one is among the top results with a gold medal. Villány producer Csányi Winery has a long success story with Villányi Franc wines, the 2017 vintage is not exception.

– Guests of the 4th Hungarian Gettogether had the chance to taste the above mentioned wines.

– In case you missed it, the next Villány event featuring Cabernet Franc wines is the annual Franc & Franc event on 18–19 November. More details are coming soon.

– Csányi Winery will also exhibit at Budapest Wine Festival on 23–26 September, as we reported earlier.

– And the next great Hungarian event with the wineries of the 100 best Hungarian wines (Winelovers 100) takes place on 19th September in Budapest at Corinthia Hotel Budapest.

As life restarts in Hungary, so do the river tastings organized by Borjour team. The first cruise of the season leaves the port at 8 pm on 2nd July. Guests can enjoy the gorgeous view of Budapest and meanwhile taste wines from 8 wineries, for example Grand Tokaj (the head winemaker, Károly Áts has just received Winemaker of the Winemakers Award), Kamocsay Premium Wines (Hilltop) or Teleki wines by Csányi Winery, Villány. One of the most popular Teleki wines is 2,5 bar, an aerated rosé sparkling wine (the name refers to the lighter pressure in the bottle), fruity and refreshing. And as the sun goes down, tasting Chateau Teleki Merlot will be a must – the 2015 vintage of this wine was selected the best red wine last year in Top 100 Hungarian wines publication. “Dark ruby. Intense nose with red fruits and mild, refined toasty notes coming the smartly used barrel ageing. Vibrant, fruity palate, great structure, silky tannins, balance. Long finish.” – as the jury wrote led by Attila Fiáth DipWSET wine expert.
So if you happen to be in Budapest, Borjour Borhajó (‘Wine Ship’) is a great idea for Thursday evening for only 8000 HUF / 22.5 euros (unlimited wine tasting, mineral water and the river cruise).
