Chef's Table

Cserszegi Fűszeres is an aromatic white grape variety from Hungary, created in 1960 by crossing Irsai Olivér with Roter Traminer. Known for its intense floral and spicy character, it thrives in Hungary’s continental climate and produces fresh, expressive wines that can be enjoyed young. The name comes from the village of Cserszegtomaj, where it was developed, and “fűszeres” meaning “spicy” in Hungarian.

Flavor

Cserszegi Fűszeres wines are highly aromatic, with notes of elderflower, white pepper, citrus, and tropical fruits. They are typically dry to off-dry, with a refreshing acidity that enhances their vibrant character.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with Asian cuisine, spicy chicken dishes, fresh salads, and soft cheeses, where the wine’s aromatic profile complements bold flavors.
