Gilvesy George Cuvée 2022
12 bottles per case
Zesty & Aromatic
Gilvesy winery is located in the outskirts of Lake Balaton, near an ancient dormant volcano, in Hungary. Hungarian expat Robert Gilvesy moved back to his homeland from Canada to start this exciting project involving native grape varieties and volcanic soils.
A blend of organically grown Riesling, Olaszrizling and Furmint, three varieties that have existed in the wine region for a long time. In style, it's a rich, flavoursome wine with explosive aromatics. This is what a classic Mount Saint George wine is like: modern and spiced up with volcanic notes.
It's delicious when paired with summer meals: fresh salads dressed with dried fruits such as cranberries and walnuts, grilled fish with potatoes and zesty ceviches.

91 Points - John Szabo, MS
Gilvesy's regionally representative blend of Furmint, Riesling, and Olaszrizling, named for the volcano on which the grapes are grown (Szent György-hegy, or Mt. St. George), is a fine and clean, pure and crystalline wine in 2022, with crunchy green apple and white fleshed orchard fruit flavours leading. Acids are crisp and crunchy, and the finish lingers impressively. A really sharp value in the end, also a fine volcanic essence from Szt. György. Drink or hold up to 3-4 years. Tasted April 2024.
