Somlói, Dunántú, Hungary
Made by the oldest active winemaker in the world, apparently. Experience counts. This wine has character. It's not exactly the kind of wine I'd be drawn to with its soggy then dried newspaper nose and wafer dipped in lemon tea palate. But, like a pig, it has personality and personality goes a long way.
This wine is made from a "godforsaken grape", tasted at the launch of Jason Wilson's book of that title.

A very perplexing and challenging white from the homeland of Haraszthy. Protestant in its austerity and basalt influence , yet rich and textured at 14% alc. Rocks and honey.
