Borjour! Jó napot! Have a good day! We have, because the whole weekend is ahead of us, let’s celebrate with some bubblies!
Paulus Wine House is a relatively new winery founded in 2012, and its series of success has started recently – but now Paulus seems to be unstoppable. The Best Olaszrizling of Hungary (VinAgora International Wine Competition 2020), the Best Sauvignon Blanc in Hungary (Winelovers 100 Best Hungarian Wines 2020), Best Buy Sauvignon Blanc (VinCE Magazine, September, 2020), Gold Zenit 2019 gold medal at VinAgora 2020, Gold Zenit 2018 – selected for the embassies by the Ministry of Trade and Foreign Affairs – just a few of recent accolades.

 

The world’s first Generosa sparkling wine

Paulus team has a passion for sparkling wines as well, and they are well-known for their juicy, lovely, easy to drink and moderate priced bubblies. Paulus is the first to use Generosa grape for sparkling, so why not taste this pioneer wine? The vinification method is known as ‘Asti method’. “The sparkling wine shows all the distinct notes of the variety both on the nose and on the palate – floral and grapey with vibrant acidity. Due to the process and the variety the wine promises a unique, adventurous experience from the very first sip.” And the retail price? Around 5 euros!

Have a nice weekend!

The wine with the highest store in VinCE Magazine latest issue is Sky, a Furmint made by Kovács Nimród Winery in Eger. We have already written about this amazing wine, which seems to be a “mega hit” this year. And right after Sky there is a Sauvignon Blanc with almost the same score – and at a price of only 1190 HUF (3.3 euros)! The wine comes from Mór, the second smallest wine region of Hungary, and the producer is a relatively young winery called Paulus Wine House. The owner, Pál Molnár left behind his business career in Switzerland to pursue his passion. It seems to be rewarding! “Pale yellow colour. Green apple and gooseberry notes typical of the Sauvignon Blanc grape with good intensity, plus some minerality. Vibrant acidity, steely structure, citrusy flavours on the palate. Subtle goosberry in the aftertaste” –say the judges of the wine magazine.
