After a taste of the must of some red Burgenders in the area of Arad [ Romania ] ending the harvest on September 29th, the first impression is of a good to very good vintage.

In Tokaji [ Hungary ] there is little hope for Aszu this year. Winemakers are facing a tough choice between a safe late harvest, meaning now, or taking a rather big chance hoping for a miracle during October.

With modern winemaking invading the region, mainly through the powerful French companies, I am quite certain we will see more "chateau" and "cuvee" style wines this year than ever.

Update on the Tokaji Region:

With some botrytis affecting a small portion of the grape bunch some wineries have started harvest. The smaller wineries are selecting grapes at the winery.

Possibility for rain is high and the high level of humidity is slightly delluting the sugar and flavor of the grapes.
