Workshop #3 – HUNGER GAMES: A Voyage of Iconic Hungarian Wines
16th November 2017 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm
$390
Comeback King – The Return to Glory of Hungary
A century ago, Hungarian wines were a key player in Europe. But phylloxera, world wars, communism and more external factors interrupted a glorious wine growing tradition, which is now bouncing back. With 22 wine regions and hundreds of grape varieties, its most renowned is Tokaji, noted for its golden sweet and Furmint Dry. Hosted by Debra Meiburg MW, along with special guest Mr. Raphäel Reybier, CEO of Hétszőlő and Mr. Yuk-Chi Ho, Managing Director of Wiseville, SPIT’s November workshop Hunger Games: A Voyage of Iconic Hungarian Wines delves into Tokaj, and explores the terroir, indigenous grapes, and wine styles of Hungary’s other key wine regions: Villány, Batalon and Nagy Somló.
