Kovács Nimród Winery – a fantastical sounding name which is making a name for itself in Hungary... If you Google 'Nimród', you're presented with a mixed bag of definitions including a skilful hunter, the great-grandson of Noah, and a skyplane but you can now add to this a world-class winery located in Eger, one of Hungary’s most premium wine regions.
As the name would suggest this is no wallflower. Regular lees stirring over the course of a year in a combination of French and Hungarian oak produces a soft, mellow buttery Chardonnay. Toasty and moreish this is a supreme example of just what Eger can do.
Kovács Nimród Battonage Chardonnay wine has aromas of buttered toast and fresh tropical fruit are abundant on the nose. The palate has some fresh fruit flavours of lemon, pears and pineapple with complex caramel, butter and toast character from the oak. It finishes long and elegant. Enjoy this wine as an accompaniment to poultry, pork, seafood or light pasta.
Please note: All case wine orders can take between 7-10 days for delivery.
