Somló

Somló produces powerful, mineral-rich whites, especially Juhfark. Known for high acidity and flinty, salty notes, these wines age beautifully and deserve a slow sip.

Somló (pronounced “shom-lo”) is a tiny yet mighty wine region in Hungary, famed for its volcanic soils and the distinctive Juhfark variety. Known as the “wedding night wine” for its supposed heir-producing qualities, Somló’s whites are serious, age-worthy, and structured, with flinty, salty notes and high acidity. These wines, best enjoyed at a warmer temperature, are often compared to white Burgundy for their depth and complexity.
