Zengő

The white grape variety is a new variety between Ezerjó x Bouvier. Synonyms are Badachon, Badacsony 8 and Zengo. The cross was made in 1956 in Hungary by the breeder Ferenc Kirtaly. The same parents also produced the new varieties Zenit and Zeusz. The early to medium ripening vine is moderately resistant to winter frost, but susceptible to Botrytis. It produces full-bodied white wines with aromas of quince and pepper, as well as ageing potential. The variety is cultivated in the areas of Eger, Etyek-Buda (for sparkling wine production) and Mátraalja. In 2016, 226 hectares of vines were reported in Hungary, with a decreasing trend (Kym Anderson Kym statistics).
