The Istvándy Jenő Winery Farkastető Chardonnay 2022 is a single-vineyard dry white wine originating from the Farkastető vineyard in Szentbékkálla, located in the Balaton Uplands wine region. The grapes, harvested by hand from 35-year-old Chardonnay vines, underwent gentle processing before being fermented in tanks under controlled cooling, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged on fine lees for one year and matured in used oak barrels for six months.

Beef à la Hunter with Risotto (recommended by Tamás Istvándy) – Featuring slow-cooked beef in a tangy, creamy vegetable sauce, served with risotto instead of dumplings. The wine’s acidity and citrus notes balance the richness of the sauce.

Grilled Pork Ribs with White Wine Mustard Marinade (recommended by Tamás Istvándy) – Juicy, smoky ribs marinated in a white wine and mustard blend, then grilled to perfection. The subtle oak and bright fruit of the Chardonnay enhance the dish’s depth and slight tanginess.

Sous Vide Roast Beef with Butter Sauce and Steamed Vegetables (recommended by Tamás Istvándy) - Tender, slow-cooked beef served with a velvety butter sauce and lightly steamed vegetables. The wine’s creamy texture and minerality complement the delicate flavors of the dish.

Spiced Pork Neck with Apple-Cabbage Side (recommended by Tamás Istvándy) – A flavorful, slow-cooked pork neck paired with a warm apple and cabbage medley. The fruity and toasty notes of the Chardonnay highlight the dish’s sweet and savory balance.
