About Ezerfurtu

Origin

History
Ezerfürtű is a Hungarian-bred white wine grape variety, created in 1950 by breeders András Kurucz and István Kwaysser in Kecskemét. It is a cross between Roter Traminer (Piros Tramini) and Hárslevelű. Also known as Kecskemét 5 or Miklóstelepi 5, it was developed to produce high-quality wines in Hungary's wine regions.
Appearance
Medium-sized, compact clusters with small, round, yellow berries that are speckled and have a light bloom.
Growing Traits
Ezerfürtű is a vigorous, high-yielding variety that is susceptible to rot and requires careful vineyard management. It ripens early, typically harvested in late September. The grape thrives in various Hungarian wine regions, including the Danube wine region (Kunság and Hajós-Baja) and around Lake Balaton.
