AFFINITAS Hungary Products Affinitás & Evolúció come from the Tokaj region in Hungary. Tokaj is synonym of dessert wines and takes its name from the town of Tokaj-Hegyalja in the northern Furmint part of the country. Affinitás is made from the white Furmint grape. The name Furmint is taken from the word ‘Froment', for the wheat gold color of the wine it produces. It is widely believed that the grape originates from Hungary; however it seems most likely that it was brought into the area in the 13th century. In recent years, DNA profiling conducted at the University of Zagreb has shown that Furmint could have a parent-offspring relationship with the modest Gouais Blanc grape, which similar research elsewhere has shown to be a parent of numerous other varieties, including Chardonnay. Furmint has also been confirmed to be the same grape as the Croatian white variety Moslavac. Furmint is mostly grown in the Tokaj region where it is used to produce dry wines as well as the famous sweet Tokaj wines. To make Aszú Furmint is blended with Hárslevelü and Muscat Lunel. It is also grown, to a much lesser extent, in the region of Somló, in the Great Central Plains of Hungary. Furmint is found in other countries such as Slovakia where it takes a similar role as in Tokaj, in Austria, where it is known as Mosler, in Slovenia, Croatia, Romania and the former republics of the Soviet Union. Furmint is an early budding late ripening grape and particularly prone to botrytis. Its naturally high acidity level adds to its aging potential. Furmint can be produced in a variety of styles ranging from bone dry to extremely sweet wines. Affinitás is an example of dry Furmint from the Tokaj region. Affinitás has a low percentage of Muscat which adds to the richness and texture of the wine. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

2018 Losonci Pinot Gris Matra, Hungary
2018 Losonci Pinot Gris Matra, Hungary Bálint Losonci entered the wine business as a writer for the wine magazine Borbarát under László Alkonyi. He was exposed to a whole world of Hungarian wines in the late 1990s that was just waking up after Communism. He then apprenticed under Gábor Karner (whom he found via Borbarát), and joined a few other liked minded small producers who believed in the future potential of the Mátra appellation. Hungary’s Mátra appellation is quietly the second largest in the country (7500+ hectares), but has been dominated by just a few larger industrial players – perhaps a bit of a Soviet cooperative era hangover. The typical vine density is designed for large tractors and there’s a disturbing amount of Müller-Thurgau and Chasselas geared more for table grape yields than wine. He and others greatly increased vine density, planted native grapes, moved to organic farming, and drastically reduced yields. In the cellar, the main tenants are native fermentation and no other additions other than SO2. Given the wines typical of the area, all of this was somewhat unheard of on a commercial level. He continues to experiment and push himself, but what remains constant is his unwavering community oriented mindset and desire to put Mátra back on the wine map. His vineyards and wines reﬂect this drive, ambition and generosity. VINEYARDS Roughly 8 hectares are spread across the villages of Gyöngyöspata, Gyöngyöstarján and Nagyréde (single vineyards include Gereg, Tamás-hegy, Sárosberek, Peres, Virág-domb, Oroszi, and Lógi). The ﬁrst thing Bálint did was plant in between the existing rows (pre Communist era vine density), retrained the vines to drop yield to maximum 1 kilo per plant, and transitioned to organic farming.

1. Vineyard areas and areas under vine by grape variety Austrian Wine statistics report 1.2 Vineyard areas and areas under vine by grape variety 2 The data in this section is based on the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine, as well as feedback from the wine-producing federal states of Niederösterreich (Lower Austria), Burgenland, Steiermark (Styria) and Wien (Vienna). The main source of data for the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine was the Wein-ONLINE system operated by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management (BMNT). Data from the remaining federal states was collected by means of a questionnaire (primary data collection). Information relating to the (approved) nurseries was provided by the Burgenland and Lower Austrian Chambers of Agriculture and the Styrian state government (Agricultural Research Centre). According to the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine, Austria’s vineyards occupied 45,574 hectares. The planted vineyard area was 45,439 ha, which corresponds to 94 ha less (or a 0.2% decrease) in comparison to the 2009 Survey of Area under Vine. The long-running trend that suggested a shift away from white wine and towards red was quashed by the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine. While the white wine vineyard area increased by 2.3% to 30,502 ha compared to 2009, the red wine area decreased by 4.9% to 14,937 ha. Figure 1 shows the evolution of Austrian viticulture after the Second World War. The largest area under vine was recorded in 1980 at 59,432 ha. From 1980 onwards, the white wine vineyard area has continuously decreased, while the red wine vineyard area has expanded.

The Romance Population in the Medieval Kingdom of Hungary
ANALELE BANATULUI, S.N., ARHEOLOGIE ISTORIE, XXII, 2014 http://muzeulbanatului.ro/mbt/istorie/publicatii/ab.htm THE ROMANCE POPULATION IN THE MEDIEVAL KINGDOM OF HUNGARY Peter Bučko* Keywords: Romance population; medieval Hungary; Srem; Spiš; Transylvania, Tokaj; pilgrims; Hospitallers; Templars Cuvinte cheie: populaţie romanică; Ungaria medievală; Srem; Spiš; Transilvania; Tokaj; pelerini; Ospitalieri; Templieri (Abstract) Medieval kingdom of Hungary was since its very begining founded on the basis of multiethnicity and openness to foreigners. Foreigners in Hungary, especially in the 11th and 12th century came from Western Europe. Great immigration waves of the romance population are documented mostly during the reign of king Géza II (1141 – 1162), when they managed to settle in peripheral regions of the country and increase the population and signicance of weakly populated regions. Foreigners in the 12th recieved privileged status as the „guests“. In the 11th and 12th century these guests have settled in Srem, Spiš, Transylvania and Tokaj. Some information about Srem region are provided by crusades chronicles. In Srem there was a village called Francavilla, which belonged to the oldest and most important romanesque settlement in Hungary. e Guests in Transylvania had their own church organization and there were several bishops of Transylvania and Bihar/Oradea of western european origin. Other regions with Romanesque population – Spiš and Tokaj laid on international routes. e collegiate chapter of Spiš even owned vineyards in Tokaj – in Sárospátak, one of the oldest Hungarian cities with privileges. A large number of documented pilgrimage passing through Hungary could also stand behind the increase of new romance population in the country. Additional aspect of the Crusades was the creation of religious orders, the Knights Templar and the Hospitallers, who just few decades after their formation appeared in Hungary and were engaged in the life of Hungarian kingdom.

Furmint, Madeira, Austrian Riesling and Amontillado Sherry Impress at This Year’S International Wine Challenge Awards
Weird & Wonderful: Furmint, Madeira, Austrian Riesling and Amontillado Sherry impress at this year’s International Wine Challenge Awards The International Wine Challenge (IWC) Awards 2019, announced in London last night (July 9), celebrated some of the less well-known styles of wine. Winemakers and experts from some of the most famous wineries and regions across the planet were on hand to fete the success of Furmint, Madeira and sherry, amongst others. Of the five overall wine winners (sweet, fortified, sparkling, red and white), three of them are rare and quirky wines: Tenuta Di Capezzana Vinsanto Riserva 2011 which won the Alois Kracher Trophy for Champion Sweet Wine 2019 is an exceptional dessert wine made using traditional methods where the grapes are carefully selected and dried on mats for several months before being fermented and then aged for five years in wooden casks giving a rich, complex and intense wine with notes of candied orange peel and dried apricots. The winner of the Manuel Lozano Trophy for Champion Fortified Wine 2019 was Justino's Madeira Terrantez 1978 produced from grapes grown on volcanic soils on tiny terraces called ‘poios’. The Madeira impressed judges with a complex nose with walnut and hazelnut aromas and dried fruit on the palate and a beautifully long and concentrated finish. The winner of the IWC Champion White Wine 2019 was a ‘lean, delicate and precise’ Austrian Riesling from Weingut Birgit Eichinger. The winning wine, ‘Riesling Ried Zöbinger Gaisberg Erste Lage Kamptal 2017,’ was a powerful wine with great tension and balance with zesty lemon, honeyed apples, pear skin and white pepper and was dubbed by the judges as being ‘full of subtle pleasure.’ The winner of the ‘IWC Champion of Champions 2019’, awarded to the most outstanding wine of its style from the line-up of Champions, was not a Grand Cru or a vintage sparkling, but one of the world’s rarest Sherries, Tio Pepe Cuatro Palmas Amontillado by González Byass, an extremely rare 40-year-old Sherry drawn in tiny quantities from six casks known as ‘Museo Solera’.

SWEET BY TOKAJ Évjárat: 2016 Évjárat értékelés: A 2016-os évjárat az átlagnál csapadékosabb és hűvösebb időjárást hozott. Ezért a száraz borok szüreténél a korán, augusztusban megindult botrytisz fejlődés miatt nagy ﬁ gyelmet igényelt az egészséges fürtök válogatása. A száraz borok jó savval, mérsékelt alkohollal és elegáns karakterrel rendelkeznek. Az édes boroknál a novemberi csapadék miatt az egész fürtös szüret mellett döntöttünk, így a szamorodnira és a késői szüretre helyeztük a hangsúlyt, aszú bort nem készítettünk.
