Sparkling Irsai Oliver

This is a sweet sparkling wine from Hungary made from the Irsai Oliver grape. Irsai Oliver was bred by Pal Kocsis in 1930 by crossing Pozsonyi with Perle von Csaba, giving an early ripening grape with a distinctive Muscat character. Initially grown for the table, Irsai Oliver has been successfully vinified, especially under modern temperature controlled conditions, thus preserving freshness, fragrance and fruit. Although relatively disease resistant, Yields fall off dramatically after 12-15 years, to which the preferred remedy is replanting. This sparkler is fermented in Magnums, then aged on lees after which it uses a pressurized tank method for removal of less as well as bottling. I am waiting to taste it, so my impressions will need another tidbit.
