Hungary
Hungary has always had a distinctive food and wine culture. In addition, it has a wealth of native grapes and some of the most refined laws within wine. The vineyards are generally rich in volcanic soils and limestone which is idyllic for grape growing.
Eger, in the North of Hungary, is one of the most important wine regions and is characterised by huge wine cellars and caverns cut into the hillsides. Eger is also famous for its two native wines, the Bikaver (Bulls Blood) and the Egri Csillag (Star Of Eger). Tokaj is the most famous region in the country, producing the regal dessert wines which bear the regions name. Tokaj is also becoming increasingly well-known for it’s dry Furmints. Food friendly, especially with the local cuisine, the best examples can drink like fine burgundies with finesse and structure in equal measure.
The wines of Hungary continue to go from strength to strength. As the shackles of communism fade into history we will surely see an increasing amount of distinctive wines come from this historic wine producing country. Exciting times lie ahead!

2019 Holdvology Vision Dry Tokaji, PDO
White Blend
The Holdvology Vision is dry yet exotic with white peach, pear and quince fruit characters on the palate. Fermented in steel with some partial barrel ageing, this wine is beautifully textured and finishes with a touch of minerality. Made with Furmint, Harslevelu and a touch Kabar, this is a great wine to try if you fancy something a little different without being too whacky!
