Join us in this episode as we journey through the vineyards of Hungary with Zoltán Kovács, the Winery Director of Royal Tokaji. While renowned for their Botrytized sweet wines, today, we're shifting gears to delve into the world of still wines. Zoltán shines a spotlight on Hungary's main white grape, the iconic Furmint, unraveling its unique flavors and the rich tales it tells in every bottle.
But our exploration doesn't stop at Furmint; we'll also uncover the charms of other Hungarian white grapes, including the delightful Hárslevelű. Learn about the Tokaji region's climate, geography, and the stories woven into its terroir. Before we dive into the sweetness of Royal Tokaji's renowned Botrytized wines, let's savor the complexities of Hungary's still wines.
