What to pour with their cheese

Gomolya with Dry Hárslevelű (varietal)

Our pick

Gomolya is a fresh, lactic and pleasantly salty cheese, per the HÍR collection; the floral notes of a dry Hárslevelű sit alongside it without overpowering it.

Gomolya with Dry Furmint (unoaked or lightly oaked)

Our pick

Gomolya is a fresh cheese, eaten plain, grilled or kept in spiced oil; the high acidity of an unoaked or lightly oaked dry Furmint cuts through the cheese and the oil.

Gomolya with Late harvest (Késői szüretelésű)

Our pick

A late-harvest Tokaj of Furmint and Hárslevelű is sweet and fruit-led with a high acidity; beside fresh gomolya, plain or grilled, it plays the part that fruit or honey plays beside a fresh cheese.
