Rosé
Rosé is a category of wine characterised by its pink colour, produced when red grape skins are left in contact with the juice for only a short time before being removed. It sits between white and red wine in body and tannin level.
Rosé in Hungary
Hungary produces its own rosé wines, particularly from the Villány, Eger, and Balaton wine regions. Hungarian rosés tend to be dry and fruit-forward, and they pair well with the lighter dishes found in Budapest's restaurant scene. Wine tasting tours in Budapest often include a rosé alongside the country's better-known whites such as Furmint and reds such as Egri Bikavér.
