Etyeki Pezsgő: Hungary goes sparkling

Hungary boasts around 60,000 hectares of vineyards and a winemaking tradition going back to at least the Middle Ages. Output is divided roughly between 70% still white and 30% red wine. Until recently, sparkling wines have been an insignificant part of the mix, though their production started as early as the 1880s, pioneered by the Törley brand with headquarters in Budapest.
