Cellar Notes: fresh and crispy with great acidity for a great summer day thanks to the noble Sipon grape, which is a very old type of wine whose origins some oenologists place in the Ljutomer-Ormoz area of Podravje. It is also grown in neighbouring countries: in Croatia (where it is grown as Moslavac, Posip, or Poscip) and in Austria (as Mosler). But its most famous application is in Hungary: this vine is the Furmint that is used in the production of the world-famous Tokaji (Tokaja) cask-aged wines. The Slovene name "Sipon" is thought to be a degeneration of a French phrase: according to legend, during the Napoleonic wars, the wine was offered to French officers who enthusiastically commented "(C'est) ci bon!."
