Chapel Hill

<BODY> Chapel Hill Wine As for its geographical and cultural situation, Hungary is in the very heart of Europe and vines have been grown here since Roman times. Wine has remained at the core of Hungarian culture throughout the last almost 2000 years, and has survived invasion by the Mongols and even a century and a half of Turkish Muslim occupation. Hungary also has a legacy of making world-renowned wines. Unfortunately, the wine industry of the country had stagnated after the Second World War, exporting massive volumes to former Eastern Block countries. It wasn’t until the return to a free market at the end of the 1980s that Hungary started to develop the exciting modern approach to winemaking that the leading producers use today. Throughout all this, Hungarians have hung on to their passion for good food, lively music and wine. Hungary is a small land locked nation, almost divided into two by the River Danube. It’s located on about the same latitude as Burgundy, but has a more continental climate with baking summers, long sunny autumns and bitterly cold winters. The climate is particularly suited to aromatic and fresh whites in the north, while reds are better in the south.

Wine middle Europe The name “Chapel Hill” comes from a small volcanic hill near the village of Balatonboglár. On its summit stand two Chapels, one red and one blue.
