St. Andrea Napbor Cuvée

St. Andrea Napbor Cuvée from Eger, Hungary. This white wine is unique in this vintage with its lively nose and soft flavor. Nicely balanced wine recently the high alcohol content (14°). This wine has aged in stainless steel and 5 months in oak barrels. In the nose we immediately find the oak barrels, combined with fresh radish, ginger and raisins. On the palate you will discover peach, butter and toasted nuts. Concentrated and complex wine with lots of potential.

Chardonnay, the grape of white Burgundy and Champagne, is planted all over the world. Delivers good to very good wine with a full, dry taste. Chardonnay is a grape that does not have a clear character, which depends on the terroir (soil and climate) and the method of wine making. Chardonnay lends itself very well to maturing in wooden barrels.

Pinot Blanc, a Burgundy grape of good quality. The wines generally have a fairly subdued aroma and taste, which is usually fresh and floral when young, slightly spicier when older. A relatively full taste with a fairly high acid content is also characteristic. Pinot Blanc wines are an excellent accompaniment to all kinds of light dishes, such as asparagus. In Alsace the grape is sometimes called Klevner or Clevner. Is known as Pinot Bianco in Italy and as Weißburgunder or Weißer Burgunder in Germany and Austria. In Slovenia and the Balkan countries the grape may be called beli (white) pinot.

Traminer, the grape from the village of Tramin. It has its origins as a clonal mutation of the ancient Savagnin Blanc from France. Looks a bit like its cousin, the Gewürztraminer, but still slightly different. All confusing. It’s better to taste it! A beautiful and attractive straw yellow shade. The nose is explosive and floral. Rose, jasmine supported by some citrus fruit and mint alternate here. In the mouth the same image, but what stands out is its richness and roundness. Lots of aroma and a persistent aftertaste. Definitely drier style than its French brother the Gewürztraminer.

Hárslevelu means “Lime leaf”. It is an aromatic white grape variety from Hungary. The name refers to the dominant aroma of lime blossom that the grape gives to the wines. Due to this aromatic character, this grape has a supporting quality in sweet Tokaj wines in which the Furmint plays the leading role. The thin skin of this grape makes it susceptible to noble rot, a unique feature in this region for the production of the sweet Aszu wines. Single-varietal wines with a dry and spicy character are also made from Hárslevelu.
