Back to school
Visiting Hungary is always fantastic. Meeting up with our wonderful winemakers and discovering new wines and new wineries. Last month I was privileged to attend the Hungarian Wine Summit, gaining further indepth knowledge with delegates from all over the world, meeting up with old friends and new.
Did you know:

*There are over 12,000 wineries in Hungary

* Approx 2,000 small family wineries – this is the sector that we at Malux champion.

*Total export 1,27 hl

*The UK is the 5th largest importer of Hungarian wines, after Slovakia, Germany, Czech Republic and France.
Yes that’s right

What makes Hungarian wine so good and special?
The unique native grapes or the rich volcanic soil?
Yes, true, but foremost it’s the people; their passion, dedication and progressive approach. The lessons learnt from a turbulent history and a zest for a sustainable, innovative and bright wine future.

Contact us to taste why our Hungarian wines are a must for your list.

It’s International FURMINT day! Furmint is Hungary’s most well known indigenous white grape variety. It’s super flexible, extremely user friendly, great with or without food. Can be made dry or sweet. Furmint has varying flavour profiles depending on exactly where it grows.
Our Pajzos Megyer Furmints have a unique tropical edge being from the area of Sarospatak in Tokaj.
The un oaked best selling Megyer dry Furmint is zippy with aromas of white flowers, lychee and pear and flavours of green apples and white peaches. The oaked dry Pajzos selection is rich and deep with red apples and spice.
Furmint is of course a key grape in sweet Tokaj.

However you like your Furmint, we’ve got you!
Try some today, put it on your shopping list.

Did you know Furmint contains Q10 ? Q10 is an antioxidant, linked to preventing cellular damaged re ageing and some diseases.

International Tokaj Aszu Day 10th Dec.
Golden, concentrated, incredibly well balanced, luscious and rich.
We are thrilled that our Pajzos Tokaji Aszu 6 puttonyos is currently paired at Heston Blumenthal’s 3 Michelin star restaurant The Fat Duck, with the incredible Botrytis Cinera; an iconic dish created, apparently with over 80 ingredients, 55 stages, taking 2 weeks, mastered by 8 chefs. Thank you
An amazing pairing with this unique wine, which has won various prestigious awards including Gold Decanter and Gold Vinagora. Four different grape varieties, harvested by hand over a number of weeks, only when each individual grape was ready for picking. Aged in Hungarian oak barrels for 42 months and then continues developing in its bottle. Naturally sweet, Aszu wines perfectly celebrate life’s complexity and balance.
To find out more and discover the rest of our Tokaj range, dry and sweet, including the perfect 250ml gift size 5 puttonyos, contact us.

It’s back! Just received some sample bottles of Winemaker Sandor’s special Projekt wine the Grey Orange Wine 2022. Pinot Gris grapes, 4 weeks skin contact, pumped over and manual punch down, 10 months barrel aged in second and third used 300 litre Hungarian oak barrels.
Can’t wait to show you this, look at the colour, no filter used here!
The last vintage 2019 was delicious, a super approachable orange wine which converted many of our customers to drinking Amber, or as the winemaker says ‘white in another light’

These are sample labels only.

Tokaj Aszu day December 10th
With perfect balance, this iconic wine is aways a unique delight.
From fresh, citrusy, tropical younger vintages to developed caramelised, nutty older vintages.
It’s historical importance throughout the centuries is documented worldwide but do you know just what a labour of love, time and expertise goes into making this wine?
After a vintage with perfect conditions; the right amount sun, wind and rain, the botritised berries are hand picked, one by one, by highly experienced pickers, going up and down the vines for weeks selecting the berries only when they are perfect.
These precious berries are then gentle pressed and aged in Hungarian oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months, but usually around 3 years, then aged in the bottle for a minimum of 18 months.
Our exquisite Pajzos Megyer Tokaji Aszu is aged in the cellars of the 16th Century Castle of Sarospatak.
Perfect for Christmas, ideal for gifting.
Always a sumptuous pleasure.
Exclusively from Malux:
• Megyer Tokaji Aszu 5 putts 2016 (500ml)
• Megyer Tokaji Aszu 5 putts 2016 (250ml)
• Megyer Tokaji Aszu 5 putts 1993
• Pajzos Tokaji Aszu 5 putts 2006 *

It’s Ezerjo harvest day today! As you are reading this, now at this very moment, those little golden, juicy grapes are being hand picked, beginning their journey to become a phenomenal wine!

Ezerjo meaning a thousand blessings, is a Hungarian grape, primarily grown here in the wine region of Mor.

This is where Krisztina Csetvei is at home. An organic, artisan wine maker following her passion for this grape. Some will be aged in amphora and some in Hungarian oak.
We can’t wait to try this vintage.

Get in touch to enjoy the 2020 vintage.
