Vino Vdovjak – Lipovina

Vino Vdovjak “Lipovina” is a wine made like a Tokaj (usually a sweet wine) but here, the most famous of Hungarian “sweet” grapes gets the coolest of Slovak winemaker treatment. Is it sweet? Absolutely NOT. It is more like a unique take on a well worn standard. Rivers, mountains, forests. There is something outdoorsy about this wine. Expect it to be reductive for first few moments, then blows off. Nice acidity yet some rounded notes. Lemon rind, pepper, vanilla.
