One might think that the international fashion variety Sauvignon Blanc has only recently been native to Lake Balaton and perhaps only came to the region with the arrival of Canadian Robert Gilvesy. Not even close. Far-sighted cooperative winegrowers, who knew the terroir of their homeland inside out, persuaded the local cooperative in communist Hungary to plant Sauvignon Blanc on the north side of Szent György-hegy as early as the 1970s. A spot on decision, as can be seen today when you taste this Sauvignon Blanc from 45-year-old vines from the single vineyard MOGYORÓS. The expansion in the wooden barrel and the smokiness are the first things you notice. Then a mixture of exotic fruit, citric freshness and demanding, drying saltiness. Sparse, almost bitter in the finish. Very independent and does not need to hide from any of the great Sauvignon Blanc appellations in the wine world.
