2 GREETINGS Dear Guest! If you talk to anyone about Hungary, sooner or later they will surely mention places, great performances, flavours and fragrances that make Hungarian ingenuity, talent and quality famous all over the world. The primary purpose of the Hungarian Tourism Ltd. is to promote the success of businesses which with their innovation, talent and dedication work every day to make sure that the truly Hungarian specialities reach more and more people around the world. The Hungarian wines, thanks to Hungarian winemakers pouring their heart and soul into their work, are world-renowned and represent a famously high standard. We Hungarians are proud of our excellent wines, and we know that quality products should be promoted at the appropriate forums. This is why Hungary has been participating at the ProWein event since 2000 with undiminished enthusiasm and with an increasing number of exhibitors every year. 3 I am confident that similarly to previous exhibitions, this year we will also successfully convince visitors that Hungary is the home of quality wines, and I also hope that many more people will get to know, and at the same time recognize, the high standard our country represents in the area of viticulture. Enjoy the programs of the exhibition, and have a great time discovering the wines of Hungary! Péter Faragó PhD general director Hungarian Tourism Ltd. H-1027 Budapest, Kacsa u info@itthon.hu

These are the indicators of Hungarian grape and wine production in 2014 when the quantity which was lower than the average of the previous years, however, the quality was really excellent. Most of the Hungarian wine production is white wine, one quarter of it is red wine, and five percent is rosé wine; people all over the world toast with this, give it as present or add it to their treasured collections. Due to its exceptional natural features, Hungary is a prime agricultural and wine-producing country. It was once considered Europe s agricultural heartland, which is not surprising, since the fruits of the Hungarian land, the meat of the animals grazing the Hungarian pastures and the great Hungarian foods and drinks did not only represent quality for us Hungarians but for all of Europe. I believe that today it is the same way with winemaking. We only have to think of the well-known and world-renowned Aszú wines of Tokaj. The choice of wine is important so that we provide quality products to our family, to our friends, on occasions of celebration, or to accompany a meal prepared with devotion. It is for this reason that it is highly important for us that the inimitable quality of the wines produced in Hungary can mean a guarantee for European people in their everyday decisions. We are glad to recommend to everyone the wines of the Hungarian wineries presented in the ProWein fair, and we are confident that their unmatched quality will speak for itself. Please enjoy reading about and getting to know the Hungarian companies and their products, and have a well-spent time during the exhibition!

6 VINUM REGUM, REX VINORUM /Louis XIV/ TOKAJI ASZÚ TOKAJI ASZÚ IS A SWEET WINE MADE IN THE TOKAJ-HEGYALJA REGION FROM GRAPES AFFECTED BY NOBLE ROT. TOKAJ The wine of kings, the king of wines, said Louis XIV of France after tasting a glass of Tokaji wine. Imagine the scene as the matchless scent of this Hungarian wine makes even the French monarch close his eyes, and its unique flavour makes it clear to him that this wine is of exceptional quality. The wonderfully romantic hillsides striped with rows of grapevine, the distinctive scent of cellars dug in the earth, the oak barrels in which truly fine wine matures all these contribute to the mood that this Hungarian wine has evoked in the lovers of special drinks for hundreds of years. This is why it has become part of the UNESCO world heritage, further propagating the exceptional natural resources of Hungary. Although the Tokaji region is not a large region, the wine produced here is well-known and indeed, the favourite of world-famous people. Mozart for example is said to have often enjoyed Tokaji wine. Its name may easily turn up again in the Fausts of the future as it has in Goethe s work: Sibel (as Mephistopheles approaches his seat) For me, I grant, sour wine is out of place; Fill up my glass with sweetest, will you? Mephistopheles (boring) Tokay shall flow at once, to fill you! Tokaji Aszú is made with a hundred-year-old technology that is based on the late harvesting of grapes affected by noble rot. During the process the individually selected grapes are collected in a vat and mashed to become a pulp (or also known as aszú pastry) and either wine, fermenting must or must is poured on them. The wine is then matured for at least 3 years, of which at least 2 years are in wooden barrels. Concentration of the Aszú used to be defined by how many buckets ( puttony ) of grapes were soaked in a gönci barrel (136.6 l) of must. A wine could be 3, 4, 5 or 6 bucketed ( puttonyos ). Although concentration is no longer defined in buckets, the labels on the bottles still indicate this as this valuable tradition that both the region and Hungary may be grateful for, deserves such reverence. TOKAJ The unique flavour of Tokaji wine is a result of the peculiar synergy between the soil and climate of Hegyalja. This magnificent savour is worth saving for the younger generation as well, therefore the Tokaji wine region is a closed region, which means that grapes, must or wines from other regions except for bottled wines are not allowed in here. This is how the increased protection of the region s wines and specialties can be guaranteed.

Tamás ILLÉS , PANNONHALMA WINE REGION At the time of building the monastery, the Benedictine monks settled on the Sacred Hill of Pannonia in 996 also revived the viticulture of the region. 50 years after the confiscations following World War II, the Archabbey Pannonhalma and the MKB Bank wakened this tradition again by creating new plantations and winery.

Today, not only are some of the world s most renowned sweet wines being made from the region s unique terroir, but so is a stunning range of dry and late harvest wines. Darrel Joseph, wine writer and judge for the Decanter World Wine Awards, will guide you through a diverse tasting of today s Tokaji wines and explore what makes them so versatile and complex - from their leading varieties, Furmint, Hárslevelű and Muscat Lunel, to the distinctive soils and climate of 51 the region.

Yet there are plenty of exciting local red grapes and some well-known international ones, which boost wines full of passion. Some region are famous for their blends, such as in Szekszárd and Eger the Bikavér (Bull s Blood), where Kékfrankos and Kadarka play usually the main role in the blends. Diverse soil and climatic conditions from Sopron over the Lake Balaton to the South and North of Hungary provide stunning diversity and plenty of rich, delicate red wines.

Anne Krebiehl MW PRESENTATIONS MON :00 PM - 12:30 PM MON :00 PM - 4:30 PM There are not many vine growing countries that make high quality wines on volcanic soil. There are several legends and histories attached to these regions, the wines share an individual rich aroma and flavour here. Usually white wines are produced on these lands, yet here and there some red wine is made as well. From Somló, through Badacsony until Tokaj minerality sometimes comes across as a salty touch. Yet everyone should decide, if this tasting is for himself/herself, it will be an exciting meeting of fire and wine. The Hungarian alphabet has 44 letters and they make every use of them in case of grape varieties as well. There is no shortage on sometimes difficult to pronounce grape varieties, such as Cserszegi fűszeres, Királyleányka, Arany sárfehér, Hárslevelű and many more. Elizabeth Gabay, Master of Wine from France, will take you on a wild ride of the weird and wonderful maze of tongue breakers, which are not only exciting on the linguistic point of view, but also in the glass PRESENTATIONS

29 BLEND OR VARIETAL? LET S DISCOVER HUNGARY S 21. CENTURY WINEMAKING! Kristian Kielmayer, AIWS THE SWEET SIDE OF HUNGARY, TOKAJ Kristian Kielmayer, AIWS PRESENTATIONS MON :30 PM - 6:00 PM TUE :30 PM - 1:00 PM A question which always comes up: what works better in a given region varietal wines or blends? While it depends on the circumstances and many different factors. Hungary has several blends, which made it famous. Just think for example the Bikavér (Bull s Blood) or the recent white wine, the Egri Csillag (Star of Eger) or even the aszú wines. Yet some discoveries as varietal wines, such as Cabernet Franc from Villány and Olaszrizling (Welschriesling) from Lake Balaton can be in favour for those, who appreciate the single varietal wines. During the tutored tasting everyone can decide for himself/herself, what works best for the specific wine region. There are less and less wine regions in the world, which stand out during blind tastings with their typicity and unique style. Tokaji aszú wines are truly one of them, so-called bankers. This can be thanked to the extraordinary terroir. The style of the aszú wines shares high acidity, luscious sweetness and moderate well-balanced alcohol. An excellent harmony, freshness and sweetness with richness, complexity and almost never ending finish After the vintage 2013, only 5 and 6 puttonyos aszús are allowed to be produced, hence even a higher quality is introduced to the wine region. Let s dive deep into the seductive taste of sweetness, purity and complexity. PRESENTATIONS
