Discover the unique and special wines of the Hungarian wine regions! Whether you’re looking for a local, little-known grape variety, a famed international variety from a lesser-known region, or an exciting Hungarian wine style, you’ll find them all in this masterclass. There are six wines to taste arranged in pairs: Irsai Olivér is a Hungarian crossing and it comes in tandem with a Királyleányka, another wine with a lush, fruity character, they are followed by two elegant Rieslings from two different Hungarian wine regions, and then two important varieties from the Balaton wine region, an Olaszrizling and an indigenous grape variety, Juhfark. As a bonus, the flight is rounded off with a Szekszárd Bikavér.
