Bukolyi Marcell, Köves Egri Csillag Grand Superior, Egri Borregio, Hungary 2021

Egri Csillag, or ‘Star of Eger’, is the white counterpart to the region's renowned 'Bull's Blood' blend. This organic edition consists of Furmint, Hárslevelű and Riesling. A golden hue to the pale lemon colour, it has a pure, ripe nose of yellow peach, mango and blood orange. High acidity on the attack led to a saline, textured undertone of citrus zest, more stone fruits, and confected quince on the back palate. Warming spices on the long finish of honeydew melon, hinting at the 14.5% alcohol.
