More about Fehérvári Wine Estate

The grandiose beauty

“Our Reserve Brut Magnum sparkling wine carries both the exclusivity of traditional sparkling wines and the innovative curiosity of our winery. An exciting specialty that offers a wonderful sight as moonlight pearls in the glass with a yellow colour. In its complex aroma, juicy peaches, pears and citrus appear at the same time, with toasty, mature aromas in the background. Its fruitiness creates harmony with the biscuit flavours, which end with a creamy finish.”
Retail price (on Fehérvári’s webshop): 17 990 HUF / 46 EUR
(Keep in mind, it is a magnum, bottle fermented, gold winner sparkling wine from the smallest wine region of Hungary.)

To make things clear

Hungary hosts two large scale international wine contests (VinAgora and Winelovers Wine Awards) and some competitions focusing on a grape variety (GROW in 2024, Portugieser du Monde, Franc du Monde). The most important non-international contest is the National Wine Contest (‘Országos Borverseny’) held annually, organised by the National Council of the Wine Communities. This article mentions the 3rd Winelovers Wine Awards, you can find all the results here.
