Zoltán Demeter, a legendary figure in Tokaj, doesn’t just make wine – he creates art. “I have a fatal genetic condition: perfectionism,” he says with a half-smile. His wines are a pure reflection of their terroir, crafted without malolactic fermentation or oak influence. Elegant yet modern, they bear the hallmarks of a cosmopolitan winemaker. You don’t need to be a connoisseur to recognize the finesse and sleekness in his 2023 Birtok and Kakas Furmints.
