The Hilltop company only started in 1991 but already produces some of the best whites in Hungary. The Neszmely Irsai Oliver 2006 is an absolute classic: crisp, fruity, all those cliched white wine flavours really do come true with hints of straw, spice and summer.
The Irsai Oliver grape is a relatively new hybrid and a relative of the Muscat grape.
It's eminently quaffable and very good to drink on hot summer evenings by the Danube!
Also recommended are the:
Neszmely Olaszrizling 2006(Italian riesling) and the Premium Neszmely Grigio 2006]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22914 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19199 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19199 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17325 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17325 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4966
Not at all pompous, so you don't have to be a boffin to enjoy it. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are lovely - if a bottle's empty just shout up and they'll open another.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4966
