Chateau Megyer Hárslevelű
Chateau Megyer is located in the Tokaji producing region in north-eastern Hungary. The region is most famous for sweet wines, but also produces some outstanding dry whites.
Hárslevelű pronouned Harsh-level-loo, means linden-leaf in Hungarian, the wine is very suited to bottle ageing. This is a 2014 vintage, but it could go on for several more years. This is one for fans of a decent unoaked Chardonnay who want to try something different. Honey, herbs and a slight smokiness. Great on its own or would suit white meats.

An elegant blend of apricot and peaches with a hint of warm ginger spice.

Think Harry Potter meets James Bond. Hemina red is an elegant Bordeaux style blend. 8 months in used Hungarian oak barrels.
‘Hemina’ is the monks self determined daily allowance, as pictured whilst playing poker! Silky tannins from the merlot, while the cabernet franc ensures the structure. Fruity, black berries both on the nose and palate. Delicate, rich, round and elegant. Great with grilled dishes, red meats, game, anything delicious with a bit of body.
Petit Bonsai Kadarka
Kadarka is the oldest historic vine variety cultivated in the Szekszárd region, a difficult and delicate grape to grow due to it’s thin skin. Hand picked from 100 year old short vines reminiscent of Bonsai trees. Peter Vida has a natural approach without using any chemicals, rather planting flowers, grasses and herbs. ‘We try to reach harmony in the soil that we believe brings us harmony and balance to our wines too.
Great aperitif, chicken, veal & with indian or asian spiced food. Slightly chilled with fish and vegetable dishes.
