The variety survived only in the gene bank of the Pécs wine research institute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2004, the Vylyan winery joined forces with the institute to bring this near-extinct grape back to life, and today some 4,000 Csókaszőlő vines grow in their vineyards. The small, dark berries were once nicknamed after the blackbird — which is why a little black bird graces the label of this wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Vylyan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1992 in Hungary’s southernmost wine region, Villány, Vylyan takes its name from a medieval spelling of the area found in old documents. With around 120 hectares of vineyards and some 600,000 bottles per year, the winery earned international acclaim early on — a Decanter award for its 2004 Pinot Noir, and the title of Hungarian “Winery of the Year” in 2008. Vylyan has always championed the elegant, balanced side of Villány reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose this wine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCsóka 2019 captures the beauty of an outstanding Villány vintage with a truly unique character. Dried cherry and rosehip fruit meets cool, forest-like nuances, while silky acidity and velvety tannins are reminiscent of Burgundy. A medium-bodied, wonderfully drinkable bistro red — awarded a gold medal at the Gilbert \u0026amp; Gaillard International Challenge 2024 — made from a grape you will simply not find outside Hungary. A rare bottle worth discovering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright, healthy, light ruby hue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium-intensity aromas of sour cherry, dried cherry and rosehip, lifted by licorice and a cool, forest-floor spiciness.
