Ezerfurtu Description
Origin: Kecskemét, Hungary
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.
Food Pairing Ezerfürtű's restrained flavor profile makes it a suitable companion for simple, neutral dishes. It pairs well with white-fleshed poultry dishes with sour cream or cream sauces. Avoid pairing with overly complex, spicy, or acidic foods, as the wine may not stand up to strong flavors.
