Somló Wine Region
Somló is a 435-meter-high volcanic mountain in Veszprém county, Hungary, which stands out from the plains. Its name dates back to a time when a dogwood (som in Hungarian) forest was still covering its slopes. In addition to the quality and rich taste of the Somló wine, it has become known and recognized throughout the world because it was one of the rare white wines that could be transported without damage. Thanks to its unique volcanic terrior, indigenous local varieties and state-of-the-art winemaking techniques, Somlói is once again considered one of the world's greatest. Somló wine is made exclusively from white grapes. The most widespread varieties in the wine region are Juhfark, Olaszrizling, Furmint, Hárslevelű and Tramini.
Tasting Note
Light star bright straw yellow color with gold reflexes. The viscosity is higher than medium. The clean and medium plus intense fragrance based on yellow apple, hay, gooseberry, and dried reseda with a hint of yeast. On the palate the sip is dry and refreshing acidity and citrus notes gives the roundness to the aromas promised by the nose. The finish is longer than medium also with a tiny bit of sweetness.
Zenit is one of our light and popular style wines, its freshness and fruiti-ness makes it easy to love. With this variety we’d like to show that Somló conquers not only with its full bodied, big wines, but also with the easy drinking wine styles.
