Good to know I. - Irsai Olivér


Have you ever heard about Hungarian Irsai Olivér?

If not yet...read now!

Irsai Olivér is a little bit unknown Hungarian white wine variety, crossed between Pozsonyi /grape 1./ and Csaba Gyöngye /Pearl of Csaba, /grape 2./ / and developed in Kecskemét in 1930 as a table wine. It is early ripening, with a distinctive Muscat aroma and flavour, fine and elegant acids.
Reductive treatment produces light, airy, greenish yellow wine full of the flavours of the original grape.

It may be a coaxing partner to friendly afternoon conversations or chilled bottles of Irsai Olivér wine are great way to start a summer garden party, because it is a perfect "starter" wine. It sets a good conversation going and accompanies white meats and fried fish. :)
