Bukolyi Marcell, White Blend Koves, 2022
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Bukolyi Marcell is one of Hungary’s rising stars, crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines from the volcanic slopes of Eger. Köves (meaning “stony”) is a blend of native and international varieties, organically farmed and minimally handled in the cellar to highlight the region’s mineral-rich soils. The 2022 vintage, shaped by a warm yet balanced season, delivers a wine that is both fresh and layered, bridging old-world structure with modern vibrancy.
Golden apple, pear, and citrus blossoms lead, followed by hints of thyme, wet stone, and a touch of smoke from the volcanic terroir. The palate is precise yet textured, with lively acidity keeping everything taut and focused. Unlike richer Hungarian whites, Köves leans into restraint and tension, offering complexity without heaviness.
Ideal with grilled fish, roasted root vegetables, or soft cheeses, this is a versatile white that thrives at the table. Drink now for its youthful energy, or let it evolve over the next few years to reveal even greater depth. A beautiful expression of Eger’s unique volcanic character.
