š· Friday Wine Day at The Swan!
Each week weāre shining a light on one of our lovely wines, and weāre kicking things off with a true classicā¦
š Wine Spotlight: Hungarian Pinot Grigio (2019)
If youāre craving something fresh, modern, and full of flavour, this little gem from Hungary is a cracking choice.
It pours a greenishāyellow that already hints at its lively character. On the nose youāll find ripe apples, fresh fruit, and soft floral notes - clean, bright, and instantly inviting. āØ
Take a sip and itās just as refreshing:
š fresh fruit flavours
āļø wellābalanced acidity
⨠a tiny natural prickle of COā for a subtle lift
Technically semidry, but honestly⦠itās far more interesting than your average glugāandāgo Pinot Grigio. The finish is long, spicy, and elegant ā a proper grownāup twist on a crowd favourite.
Letās give Hungary a little credit while weāre here, theyāre quietly turning out some seriously good wines these days. The MĆ”tra region in particular is known for its volcanic soils and cooler climate, which is why their whites come out so aromatic, crisp, and full of character. If youāve never tried Hungarian Pinot Grigio before, this is a brilliant place to start.
