Cabernet Sauvignon – Csernyik Pince
This is a classic cool-climate Cabernet Sauvignon: it has a dark ruby color with tinges of dark purple on the rim. Juicy blackberry, black cherry and a touch of mint define the nose. The tannins are gentle and accompanied by balanced acidity with notes of mocha, chocolate, and more black cherry. The aging was carried out for 15 months in first- and second-use 300-liter oak barrels, as well as two neutral 225-liter barrels. Accompany this wine with spicy grilled meats, steak, or game dishes for maximum enjoyment.

The MĂĄtra hills, and the wine region that stretches among them, are about 100 kilometers east of Budapest. Along the highway the region is closer than Eger and Tokaj. But even though MĂĄtra is actually Hungaryâs second largest winemaking regionâwith about 7,500 hectares of vineyardsâitâs an under-the-radar region, which many Hungarian wine loverâs havenât yet explored. Itâs also one of the oldest regions, where wine production started way before the Magyars arrived, making it more than 1,000 years old, with an unbroken continuity of wine.
MĂĄtra played an important role in wine production during the Communist era. Large swaths of vineyards were planted here, and the focus in the regional coop was on mass produced table wine. As a result, MĂĄtra accounted for 40 percent of Hungaryâs wine export in the 1980s. When the changes happened, the state-owned winery was privatized by a handful of companies which still account for the majority of the regionâs production.
In this way, MĂĄtraâs post-Communist wine history is somewhat different from most other Hungarian wine regions. Elsewhere smaller, family-owned businesses took the lead, making small volume, but very high quality, terroir-focused wines. Though large wineries are still dominant, ambitions small producers are starting to make a buzz and are re-thinking and re-branding the region.
Before the phylloxera struck Europe in the 19th century and devastated the wine industry, Kadarka, Furmint, GĂłhĂŠr, and Purcsin were the regionâs signature varieties. When vineyards were replanted in the early 20th century white grapes became more dominant and Kadarka like other old traditional red varieties slowly became insignificant. Today the regionâs production is 70 percent white, and the list of grapes grown here is lengthy. Olaszrizling, Irsai OlivĂŠr, HĂĄrslevelĹą, and SzĂźrkebarĂĄt are amongst the most important whites, while KĂŠkfrankos, TurĂĄn, and Pinot noir are common reds.
