Muscadet-esque with white peach blossoms, crushed rock and expansive acidity. “Wedding night wine” (Wines of the Somlo region were rumored to increase the chances of conception and traditionally consumed at Hungarian weddings) — 6 years ago

Old native variety from Badacsony, along the slopes of Lake Balaton in Western Hungary. Reminiscent of Somloi Juhfark - waxy, full, smoky, flinty. Some freshness despite the full bodied and savory character. Volcanic, like Somló. — 8 years ago

One of the oldest Somló wines I've had. Nutty honey and deeply mineral. — 10 years ago

From an obscure, nearly extinct grape variety, Juhfark translated literally means "sheep's tail" so named because tightly clustered bunches have a distinctive curve at the tip. Found only in the Somló region of Hungary, this non-aromatic variety is typically aged in large oak barriques. Meyer lemon zest, cling peaches, chamomile, and white flowers round out the nose. It's a broad-shouldered white with a coursing vein of acidity, along with a mineral upwelling that showcases an ashy, volcanic soil type. Sample — 10 years ago

Wonderful old Muskat-Ottonel from Somló (Pieroth bottling). Golden with streaks of Amber; strong scents of candied pineapple, orange zest, mango (skin, flesh, and stone), with hints of pear brandy, marzipan, and honey blossom; well balanced sweetness and acidity but lacking a bit of a backbone (like a sweetish auslese). Still, it's keeping remarkably well. Will probably run for a few decades more before it starts diving! — 10 years ago

dry and rich with a creamy feel and definite oak notes. It almost feels like Chardonnay but without the fruit. Very smooth, the end has an almost almond taste. — 7 years ago

100% Hárslevelű from Hungary’s Somló region. Deep gold color showing the age. Wet hay and dried apricot nose with honey undertone. Also reminds me of the sweet burnt caramel aromas of creme brûlée. On the palate sweet tropical fruit acidity (mango, pineapple), mineral and earth throughout. Heavy weight and plenty of texture puts this in the same league as some of the best Burgundy whites. From @sommselect dot com: This wine is farmed and crafted by Fekete Béla who is a 90-something-year-old unsung magician that turned a few acres of an ancient volcanic hillside terroir into thought-provoking wines with fathomless depth. It really is the work of a magician. — 7 years ago

Aromatic, austere fruit and dry as a bone, reminds me of a Santorini Assyrtiko except perhaps a touch mineral. Good stuff. — 10 years ago

Juhfark from the Somló area of Balaton, this delightful floral white has nice acidity, honey on the nose and palate, good minerality -- reminds me of wet white marble. Reminiscent of an Italian Falanghina or Fiano. — 10 years ago
