This is the new Hungarian grape that I tasted at Wine and Dine yesterday. A cross between Irsai Oliver and Roter Traminer, it was developed in 1960 at the Pannon University of Agriculture. It has a high yield with high sugar, harmonius acidity, cold resistance and a distinctive aroma, which brings to mind its parent Irsai Oliver. It is usually made into semi-sweet and dry wines.
The Benedek Cserszegi Fűszeres 2012 was a pale straw with a touch of green. An aroma of orangey musct grapiness was on the nose, which followed onto a dry grapey palate, with a good acidic backbone for support.
