Hungary: Budapest and Balaton

Isabelle touches down in the land of Attila, where they started making wine centuries ago. Having been cut off from the Western world and its winemaking for the 50 years of the Iron Curtain, Isabelle sets off to find out where Hungary’s at today. Her Journey takes her from the squat bars and wine ‘spritzers’ of Budapest to the holiday hotspot of Balaton, Central Europe's largest lake. She discovers a rich vinous heritage and a future full of promise, where winemakers do things differently and indigenous grape varieties, while unpronounceable, are fast becoming a national treasure. But this hot, new wine frontier is haunted by a hangover Cold War image that simply doesn’t fit the Hungary of the new millennium, so Isabelle sets the record straight.
