Varga Töpszli

"De gustibus non est disputandum", taste is not a subject of debate. Yet people often try to do so. Dry white wine snobs already rebel against sweet white wines, and consider sweet red wines a crime against wine culture. However, many of Europe's famous great wines are sweet reds, and the production of natural sweet red wines has a long tradition in the territory of historical Hungary. The Pinot Noir variety is particularly suitable for making sweet wine, as it sugars very well, and since it ripens in mid-September, it reliably ripens even in weaker vintages. To increase the sugar content, a new process from France was used, the essence of which is that the stalks holding the bunches are cut off when the grapes are fully ripe, thus breaking the connection between the root system and the bunches. The berries become wrinkled and shrivelled in a few weeks, creating a high concentration of flavours and sugar content. The wine's fancy name was inspired by the sight of the wrinkled, shrivelled grapes. Töpszli has a restrained red colour, its aroma and flavour are dominated by a sherry character, interestingly paired with the taste of sour cherry and chocolate in its aftertaste.

Producer information

Péter Varga started working in the Badacsonyörs winery with his wife and parents on January 4, 1993. Today he works with his two sons and hopes that they will later continue the winery with his grandchildren. Over the past 20 years, Hungarian viticulture has been fundamentally renewed professionally and technologically, and the quality of wines has reached Western European standards. In parallel with this, consumers' needs have also developed and changed a lot. Today, people drink less and less, but rather taste wines; they look for the interesting and the special. They no longer drink only the wines of nearby wine regions, but are able to get acquainted with the wine offerings of the country, Europe, and even the whole world. Therefore, it is not enough to make beautiful, balanced wines, we need wines that leave a mark on the consumer, that they will remember and will choose again from the thousands of items on offer.

Storage
