St Marton's Day and 2009 újborok

On St Marton's Day, when Goose is the traditional thing to eat, we went to Borbíróság for dinner. Given that just last week we had tasted our own 2009 for the first time, a nice attraction on the menu was the 5 "újbor" - just released 2009 wines. 
We tried both reds and one of the rosés.  From the reds, I preferred the Vylyan Bogyolé. It's name means "berry juice" and is a clever play on the word Beaujolais as it's made in the style of Beaujolais Nouveau - it was smooth and more full bodied than the drier "Bock Szent Márton bora". It was also more similar in taste to our own homegrown red (which doesn't do so badly in comparison in my humble opinion!!!)  


The "Dúzsi Tamás Primőr Rosé" was also delicious - very fruity.
And we had some very tasty goose too!  Their Márton Napi menu (pdf file) is available for a week or so.

    I tried the "Dúzsi Tamás Primőr Rosé" too. It was lovely. I am hoping to buy some- any suggestions?

    Suggestions where to buy? Well, in Siófok I really don't know. In Budapest's Ráday utca the Bortársaság shop has it http://www.bortarsasag.hu/en/wine/?sm=&br=102&gr=&pr=0&t_number=20&price_min=&price_max=&fwizs_drink_search_bor=1&page=1&fname=drink_search for 1400Ft a bottle and they do mail order.
