Description

Koronauradalmi translates as Royal therefore from the Kingdom of Hungary. 1947 marked the year the country fell under Soviet control and the label appears to show the word 'Koronauradalmi' crossed out in type. It is likely that this bottle was hidden to save it from being seized at a time when all independent companies were being nationalised. It was acquired by the present owner covered in a thick layer of what is believed to be volcanic dust which Dreweatts has carefully removed in areas to confirm the vintage and type. The label underneath appears in good condition and the level and colour are excellent for the age.

 

This lot forms part of a private collection amassed mainly in the 1970s and 1980s by a discerning and knowledgeable wine enthusiast who began collecting in his student days. The wines were meticulously stored in a traditional cellar and have lain undisturbed for decades. This offering presents a unique opportunity to acquire rare and historical bottles from a bygone era.
