The sparkling wines showed a great evolution, there were just a few, but all of them méthode traditionelle, beautifully made, and the majority were made of Hungarian grape – namely Furmint. And as the good scores prove: Furmint is an ideal base for sparkling.

Regarding the white wines, we can say that the aged, complex whites are mostly really great, however in the category with the highest number of samples, in the light, easy drinking, fresh white wine category unfortunately still some samples were found faulty. Regarding the red wines, we have experienced much less overoaked and much less high alcohol or jammy wines then in the earlier years. And as for the sweet wines – well, we know that the world consumes less and less sweet wines, they are definitely full of sugar, but that lovely acidity balances the sugar! Marvellous ‘Szamorodni’ wines, suberb late harvest wines and stunning Tokaji Aszú wines – you can expect the best, if you are invited to any event of a Hungarian embassy or cultural institute around the globe.
