Feketeleanyka!

 


 
 

No, not a Hungarian swear-word but a grape. In Romanian it is known as Feteasca Neagra. Both Feketeleanyka and Feteasca Neagra mean 'Black Girl.' 

This bottle was stupendous. 

The Balla Geza winery is in Transylvania, 20 Km east of Arad. Formerly part of Hungary, it was ceded to Romania in 1920. Hungarian is spoken there but not encouraged.
