National Pálinkas of Excellence Program

Red William’s Pear Pálinka

The spicy complexity shows unique varietal character. Allspice, lemon grass appear in the mix with sweet cinnamon, underlined by reserved citrus and forest mushroom. No disappointment on the palate either, the pleasant compote like note with spiciness suggests endless flavours. Very long finish, colourful, complex, a true personality. Quite memorable, a fantastic sample.

Red William’s Pear Pálinka

Clean and intensive on the nose. Spicy character, recalling soft, spring like flower garden with the crisp and stony fleshy note of the fresh fruit. The skin character and the compote tone of the ripe pear appear together. One almost feels, as he/she would bite into a freshly harvested fruit from the tree. Truly elegant product with long finish.

Red Veltelini Grape Pálinka – 2016

Green spiciness appears on the nose with citrus and ripe fruit. The flavour profile looks characterful with sweet, prune like note, underlined by some tart green tone in the back, supporting the typicity of the grape. Medium long finish, yet drinking just well, very consumer friendly pálinka.

Peach Pálinka

The nose recalls the sweet, tart, clove character of the fresh fruit. Very refreshing on the palate, underlined by compote and Muscat like aromas, which highlight its special quality. Sweetly soft, suggesting the juicy, fleshy character of the fruit. It shows nicely the rather difficult-to-extract varietal character. During the tasting we almost get the sensation of biting into a fresh fruit.
