This is the first time that I have tasted the grape Cserszegi Fuszeres and really liked it. It had nice a floral aromas and a dry and crisp body. I was reminded of a dry Kerner from the Alto Adige in Italy.If you haven't tried white wines from Hungary the Hilltop Craftsman Cserszegi Fuszers would be a wonderful introduction. Have it seafood or roasted chicken.

Country:

Hungary

- Better known for its paprika than its wine, Hungary is nonetheless one of Eastern Europe's most significant wine-producing countries. Exerjo, Furmint, Hárslevelü and Mezesfeher are just some of the indigenous (and unpronounceable!) varieties most widely planted. And Tokaji is Hungary's biggest success story. Made since the sixteenth century, Tokaji is an extremely sweet wine that was adored by the Russian Tsars. It is made in a manner similar to Sherry, and is reputed to be the longest lived, non-fortified wine in existence (a few hundred years is not unheard of). Hungary's continental climate--predictably cold winters and hot summers--makes it an ideal location for Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon as well.
