This is what good wine from the Kövérszőlő grape tastes like

KövérszÅ‘lÅ‘ is an indigenous Hungarian grape used in sweet white wines. It often produces velvety wines with a spicy nose and a fruity flavor. In the Tokaj region, it is blended with other typical Tokaj grapes such as Furmint and Hárslevelű.

Kövérszőlő is not often encountered because it barely survived the phylloxera epidemic in the 19th century. Nevertheless, it is less rare than many wine connoisseurs think. It was first planted in Romania in the 15th century. The harvest was such a success that the entire region was named after it: Cotnari. 'Grasă de Cotnari,' as Kövérszőlő is called in Romania, is still quite common here. The quality of sweet Cotnari wines has gradually increased in recent years due to the modernization of the Romanian winery of the same name. Grasă de Cotnari is not yet available in the Netherlands.
