What wine professionals have to say:
Hungary remains one of the last traditional European wine-producing countries yet to be fully appreciated internationally. It has a rich history with a wealth of indigenous varieties and wine styles that deserve to be better known. Charine and Matthew are undoubtedly passionate about the subject, and considering their frequent travels to lesser-known European regions, including Hungary, are uniquely positioned to report on what the country has to offer today.
Always difficult, if not impossible, to describe the wines of an entire country with one word. To say all Hungarian wines are fabulous would be an exaggeration. But, now that the new generation are taking over from the old guard, who had established their vineyards after Communism, Hungarian winemaking is taking on an energy and excitement which is moving the country forward. It is good to see this buzz attracting new, young wine writers such as Charine Tan and Matthew Horkey of Exotic Wine Travel.
Hungary's wine traditions remain little-known outside the country, Tokaji aside, and the progressive wine forces in Hungary deserve the world's support and encouragement. Matthew Horkey and Charine Tan do a great (and selfless) job in helping outsiders and newcomers understand the intricacies of Europe's wine scene east of the Adriatic, so I'm thrilled to hear they will be tackling Hungary before long. Their venture deserves support.
I can't wait to see what Matthew Horkey and Charine Tan unearth in Hungary. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and Hungarian wine really needs this straight-talking duo to remove the veil covering its treasures and get the world turned on its volcanic beauty, its delightfully named grape varieties (Juhfark anyone?) and its exciting and varied wines.
