A 2011 vintage Merlot from the Szeleshat cellar of Szekszard, in southern Hungary, and a 2012 vintage Chardonnay from the Nyakas cellar in Etyek, near Budapest, have won the Wine of Budapest prizes, granted for the first time by the capital.
Deputy Mayor in charge of health and social affairs Tamas Szente said at the awards ceremony on Wednesday that Budapest wants to participate in the promotion of Hungarian wines, and the prizes for best red and white are planned to be granted each year.
Head of the National Wine Expert Committee Andras Horkay told MTI earlier that more than 70 submissions had been made divided roughly between reds and whites. City council representatives shortlisted the wines with the help of experts and the final prizes were granted after a repeat tasting of the shortlisted wines, he added.
A total of 16 gold medals, 35 silver medals and 16 bronze medals were also granted.
