The harvest in Hungary started this year with the earliest ripening grape variety, Csabagyöngye, the yield is average, the quality is outstanding – said the commercial director of the co-owner of Varga Pincészet Kft. in Ordacsehi, Somogy county, on Thursday.

Varga Máté Péter reported that the harvest in the settlement belonging to the Balatonboglár wine region could have started a week later than in previous years. The purchase price increased from the 85 HUF of last year to 100 HUF per kilogram, because the demand from Csabagyöngyé is higher than the supply. The hybrid grape variety is the first new wine in Europe to be made by a reductive process, without maturation, and is expected to hit the stores in mid-September. (MTI)
