This is a
bottle of wine from Sopron in Hungary which is made from the Zenit grape.
Goggle Zenit, and most likely you'll find references to the Catholic news
agency of the same name. The grape variety Zenit was produced in 1951 by
crossing Ezerjo and Bouvier and this variety thrives particularly on Hungarian
volcanic soils. It ripens early (around September) and is often made into pleasant
crisp whites, with better examples exhibiting good minerality and good levels
of acidity. It can also reach high levels of sweetness and when the conditions
are right (as they can occur in Sopron), very good raisined wines can be
produced from it.
