During the summer break

Hi, everybody!

You may think, oh, this WEINKOMPLOTT team has already forgotten to write reports on Hungarian wines, or they are on holiday all the summer.
Telling the truth, this did not happened with us. On the contrary.
We had a very eventful summer this year. We and our wines were always on the highway :))

But let's see what happened with us in the last two months.

1. Our greatest news: Hungarian Egri Bikavérs have reached New Zealand :))
We are so proud and glad to tell you this news, because if you think over how amazingly far is this country from us, how can happen that somebody there likes Hungarian Bikavérs...and how long the wines have to be transported to get the land, you can feel: this is a real big success for us!! and of course for HUNGARIAN WINES!!

2. In July took place the 4. VinAgora International Wine Gala in Budapest. Of course, we could not miss the possibility to retaste winner wines (wines of the Wine Compass of Central Europe), so it was a must to go there. And in contrast to last year, this Gala was real good and professional organised. The location was perfect and elegant, moreover wines were good chilled. On Facebook I have promissed that we will write a Top25 list for you, but unfortunately till now it has not happened... :)



So now, please find here our Top10 below:

1./ Bock - Cabernet Sauvignon Jammertal Selction 2007 /Villány/- Gold
2./ Ikon - Tulipán 2008 /Balaton/ - Gold
3./ Heumann - Terra Tartaro 2008 /Villány/ - Gold
4./ Matias - Villányi Kékfrankos 2007 /Villány/ - Gold
5./ Takler - Syrah Reserve 2008 /Szekszárd/ - Champion
6./ Matias - Pécsi Zweigelt 2008 /Pécs-Villány/ - Gold
7./ Bock - Bock Cuvée 2007 /Villány/ - Gold
8./ Baron von Twickel - Villányi Merlot 2008 /Villány/ - Gold
9. / Béres - Tokaji Furmint Omlás 2008 /Tokaj/ - Gold
10./ Ikon - Evangelista - Cabernet Franc 2008 /Balaton/ - Silver



3. Our Wine-Club in Munich though had a summer break, but we have worked hard. We still organize our next event with a lot of power and bring "INNOVATIONS" into our tastings! More Information at the end of September!!

4. Thanks to our Hungarian wine lower friends in Swiss, we were invited to present our wines in a familier group in Basel. I think it was a real interesting evening together. Many thanks for the possibility and for the invitation. We hope, not only our white wines, but our red wines as well were something new and great for you. We tasted 11 different Top wines such as the Cuvée 5 from the Sauska Winery or the Nyúlászó Furmint from Istvan Szepsy. This time the "main course" was mostly Tokaj and Villány.

5. After the Rose-time, we have packed together some Hungarian tasting box for you.
So at the moment you can find mixed cases from Furmint, Kékfrankos, Kadarka, Cabernet Franc and some special discoveries in our webshop.


And right now, we are happy to continue our work with the biggest Hungarian Wine Fair and Exhibition in Budapest. Post coming soon!
