Collection: Hungarian Goodness

This is our fifth year promoting the fascinating and incredibly delicious dry wines of Hungary. What humbly began as an initiative to spread the word about the dry wines emerging from Hungary’s flagship grape, Furmint, has provided a wonderful excuse to celebrate the broad diversity and success of what remains to be the old world’s best kept wine secret!

Vineyards have been an important part of the Hungarian landscape since Roman times. Hungary’s most famous region, Tokaj, enjoyed a long run of fame hundred’s of years ago, when its painstakingly laborious sweet wines were some of the most sought after bottles throughout the Middle Ages. To get to present day, we fast forward through the devastation of phylloxera, two world wars, the communist regime, and a shift in consumer preference away from sweet wines - Hungary has not only had to rebuild, but it’s also had to rebrand. Over the last 20 years, the modern generation of winemakers has improved by leaps and bounds, radiating from Tokaj across an entirely underrated wine country.

Through the lens of reinvention, imagination, and severe dedication, we are now able to enjoy the distinctive, charming, memorable wines that offer these key features of Hungary’s native grapes and what positions the country on its current trajectory to reclaim its former glory!

After participating in a Hungarian wine seminar and tasting through a lot of Hungarian wines ranging from good to great, here are my favorites. These are stunning dry wines that offer not only beautiful fruit, but also intense minerality and kaleidoscopic complexity.

We don’t usually offer mixed six-pack or case discounts, but I really want you to try something new that I’m excited about, so…..order any 6 bottles from this offer and receive a 5% discount, or 12 bottles and receive a 10% discount. Orders placed through the website will have the discounts applied manually when we process your order. All of these wines are available now in very, very limited quantities, so act quickly if you are interested - first come, first served.
