What it pairs with

  • Fisherman's soup (halaszle) Racy acidity cuts through the paprika-spiced broth.Find fisherman's soup (halaszle) on TableJourney →
  • Grilled river fish Clean, high acidity keeps pace with delicate freshwater fish.
  • Soft cow's cheese The wine's acidity balances mild, creamy cheese.

With cheese

Orda Our pick The Sándor Tamás dairy at Mónosbél says orda goes well with fresh, lively white and rosé wines. Its mild, lightly sweet flakes want freshness rather than weight, which these light to medium-bodied whites and rosés give. Gomolya Our pick The HÍR collection describes gomolya as fresh, lactic and pleasantly salty. A fresh Egri Csillag or Leányka, or a higher-acid Olaszrizling, keeps pace with it without covering it.

History

Almagyar Erseki Szolobirtok was founded in 2009 on the Almagyar hillside; this bottling draws on one of the district's few surviving old-vine Leanyka blocks.
