Not many varieties allows one the opportunity to be able to make such plans as bottling this early in harvest, as Irsai Olivér did.
As a wine it can be compared to Pinot Grigio, but gives more fragrances similar to Muscat. Fragrances of tropical fruits, lemon, honey and it has a mild acidity level.
Irsai Olivér is a relatively recent Hungarian white wine variety, crossed between Pozsonyi and Pearl of CsabaIt. It ripens early and easily and produces wines known for their perfumed, Muscat-like aromas. Irsai Olivér wines are typically light and refreshing, with a juicy tropical fruit character on the palate.
WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Varietal: 100% Irsai Olivér
Occasion: Summer evenings, apéritifs, dazzle a date
Nose: Rich tropical fruits and lemon with distinct Muscat aromas, which can be described as citrus blossom or perfumed
Goes with: Irsai Olivér would love aromatic spices such as ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and chilli peppers. Wines like these always go well with lighter meats such as chicken and light flaky fish, but can stand up to BBQ meat just as well.
Ageing: To be drunk fresh and young and adequately chilled.
Serving temperature: Fridge cold: 7 – 14 °C
