Törley Brut from Budapest, Hungary is a Száraz (Dry) sparkling wine of 12% abv.I was delightfully surprised to find that Törley Brut has much the same flavors as traditional French Champagnes, with toasty notes and hints of light fruit such as peach, pear, and lemon zest.
Törley makes the best of Hungary's sparkling wines, a country that isn't always well known for its wines, except for its Tokaji Azsu dessert wines. It's a shame because they make some very nice wines indeed. The Brut just recently won a bronze medal in the 2006 International Wine Challenge competition. It is also a great value sparkling wine at $10, so I picked up a few extra bottles for when I stop by some Hungarian friends tonight on New Year's Eve.
