This is a
bottle of Mori Ezerjo grape from Maurus. Ezerjo (name literally means a
thousand good things) is an ancient Hungarian grape, originating in Nograd
county but now mainly grown around Mor. Maurus is one of the top producers of
wine from this grape. Although capable of making botrytised dessert wines, it
is also made into crisp refreshing wines designed for early consumption. This
is partly due to the grape being prone to rot, so harvesting is dome early to
avoid problems. I had this wine recently at home, to go with some seafood. It
was a fair match with fish and shellfish, but nothing gave an inspiring match.
Lemon yellow with gold tints, the nose was fruity with lemon notes which
continued through the palate accompanied by a mineral acidity right through to
the finish.
