A “text book” example

A Hungarian online wine magazine has published an article recently with great examples, what is more, “text book” manifestations of a certain grape variety. When it came to Irsai Olivér variety, the article names Frittmann Irsai Olivér. “Few Hungarian varieties have become super popular as quickly as Irsai Olivér. Fragrant, light, fresh and extremely lovable, it is often simplified as a “simple summer wine”. However, a well-made Irsai is much more than that. Frittmann Winery has been making Irsai Olivér for more than two decades, so it has had plenty of time to perfect its own style. On the characteristic quicksand soil of the Great Hungarian Plain, the variety develops particularly rich aromas, which this wine also perfectly demonstrates. Its intense grape, floral and citrus aromas, freshness and pure character clearly show why Irsai Olivér has become one of the best-known aromatic white grape varieties in the country.”
