In late March of this year, I paid a visit to the Kikelet winery in the Tokaj region. Through a melange of English, French and Hungarian, I learned about how the wine was made in this enchanting region from the winemakers, Stéphanie and Zsolt Berecz. The wines were sublime, both dry and sweet. Given the small family nature of the winery, the wines were charming and outstandingly complex and showed a definite sense-of-place. Completely off the map and relatively unknown at home, I think Kikelet are part of the quiet revolution in the area led by a few passionate individuals.
