Don't be fooled into thinking that this has any connection to Hungary! Instead, it is very much indicative of Alsace and as such has a rounded full body and a consistent finish with subtle smoky notes. With such a luxuriant and rich character, it's at its best when accompanying fine cuisine, roast foods and even red meats more typically paired with robust reds.
HVE Certified
HVE is a French agricultural certification that recognises a high level of commitment to protecting and enriching the environment by all kinds of agricultural operations, including vineyards. It stands for ‘Haute Valeur Environnementale‘ – High Environmental Value. It is particularly focused on four key areas: biodiversity conservation, flora protection strategy, management of fertiliser use and management of water use. HVE certified vineyards are not necessarily organic, which can be extremely difficult to practice consistently in wet regions, but certification shows that they are making significant and diverse efforts to practice viticulture in the most sustainable way possible.
