The vineyards of the small Hungarian wine district of Somló are located on and around the flanks of an extinct volcano. Since the Middle Ages, medicinal properties have been attributed to the wines of Somló. They were said to increase fertility. Habsburg princes drank wine made from the Juhfark grape from Somló on their wedding night. It was said to guarantee the birth of a son.
Arie, Wageningen

Heel bijzondere wijn van mijn favoriete druivenras, de Harslevelu. De besten zijn uit Tokaj, zijn overrijp geoogst, hebben houtrijping gehad en zijn op leeftijd. Deze komt uit Somloi, en dus frisser, mineraliger dan de weelderige versies uit Tokaj. Deze is nog niet al te oud, maar na een dag karafferen komt hij toch redelijk los; soortgelijke lindehoning en perzik tonen als bij een oude, houtgerijpte Harslevelu uit Tokaj, maar dan verder nog appelcider achtige tonen. Slanker en mineraliger dan houtgerijpte oude Harslevelu uit Tokaj. Heel origineel!
