"At Hungary's southern edge (45.5°N latitude), Villány's cool mesoclimate rivals Bordeaux varieties—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc blend into powerful reds on the sunny south-facing Villány Hills."

    Villány: Hungary's Bordeaux

    After the Ottomans left Villány depopulated, the Habsburgs recruited Swabian German settlers from Fulda around 1720 to rebuild. They brought Portugieser grapevines and built 50+ cellars along Baross Gábor utca from reclaimed bricks. Attila Gere's Kopár — named 'Barren' because the vineyard barely has topsoil — became Hungary's most famous red. Sauska 48 is the only Central Eastern European entry on Michelin's world-18 best vineyard restaurants: 48 seats, and the vines through the window are in the wine you're drinking. The former limestone quarry above holds 130 sculptures from 200 artists.
