Count Karolyi Description
This delicate Grüner Veltliner offers a bright yellow color and fresh aromas of stone fruit, citrus and white pepper. The palate is wonderfully fruity with balanced acidity and a full mouthfeel.
This wine is a great accompaniment to fish, shellfish, pasta or salads. Excellent as a refreshing picnic wine, or on its own as well.
After fermentation, the finished wine is left on the fine lees in temperature-controlled tanks for between 4-6 weeks to increase complexity.
Dr. Herold Binderer founded the company Binderer St. Ursula in 1951 and worked tirelessly until his late eighties. His son, Peter, who took over the business, carries on the family tradition. After the fall of the “Iron Curtain” Peter decided in the mid- 90’s to buy one winery in the north and to build another winery in the south of Hungary because he knew about the long tradition and excellent potential of Hungarian wine making. Together with Lazlo Károlyi, a Hungarian aristocrat with a turbulent life, shaped by escape from war and comebacks in different continents, Peter created his first white wine in 1998. Since then, quality and innovative concepts have been the key factors in the success of these two gentlemen. As Lazlo loves the taste of the important white wine variety Grüner Veltliner, he gave his name “Count Karolyi” to create this brand. This fresh white wine has a real varietal character. Enjoy its lemony aromas with a spicy, peppery touch typical of Gruner from Pannon, southwest Hungary – a region spoiled by sunshine.
