Hungary’s most widely planted white grape variety is Olaszrizling (which translates as “Italian Riesling”). It's a Central European variety that goes by a variety of names including Welschriesling in Austria, Riesling Italico in Italy and Romania, Laški Rizling in Slovenia, Rylink Vlašský in the Czech Republic, Rizling Italyanski in Serbia, and Rizling Vlašský in Slovakia. It is not related to German Riesling although it carries many of those attributes.
750ml mlVibrant peach and pear aromas underpinned by subtle minerality and floral notes lending complexity to this wine. It's well balanced with notes of lemon and almond with a slight mineral/salinity component. It would go well with duck confit, spare ribs, and white fish such as sole.

Tokaj Classic was founded by a group of classical musicians who were well traveled and had tasted a variety of wines from different countries before coming to the unanimous conclusion that Tokaj was a diamond in the rough, just waiting to be polished. In the historic village of Mád, the musicians refurbished an old estate and acquired vineyards in the historical prime locations of Királyhegy (King’s Mountain), and Betsek, formerly owned by the Hungarian nobility. It was a region with a wine growing history dating back over 400 years. The musicians found that handling grapes and wine is comparable to teaching students of music. Just as musical talent in students is recognized and promoted, so is the redundant growth of grapes contained and shaped, their character noted. As in music, attention is paid to the slightest detail, and new interpretations are always sought. Each vintage becomes its own composition, maintaining its individual character.
