Cserszegi Fűszeres is a white Hungarian grape variety.[1] It is named after its place of origin: Cserszegtomaj at Keszthely.
The white Cserszegi Fűszeres is a cross between the Irsai Olivér and Roter Traminer, a member of the Traminer family closely related to Gewürztraminer. It was created in 1960 by Károly Bakonyi at the Pannon University of Agriculture.[1]
The grape variety has a high yield with high sugar content and is less sensitive to cold. Its wines are dry or half dry and have a distinctive aroma, spicy taste with a harmonious acid; this variety is often informally called "spiced wine" in Hungary.
Distribution in Hungary: mainly in the Vineyards of Csongrád, Hajós, Baja, Kunság, Etyek, Buda, and in the Balaton region.
The only synonym of Cserszegi Fűszeres is Cserszegi Fűszeries (with an extra "i").[1]
