“There are many of us looking for new ways in Tokaj: how to make wine that’s easy to drink, but still substantial. This wine is like that, too.” – István Balassa.
The winemaker known for his distinctive single-vineyard wines has made this wine for the fourth year. The style is very much Balassa, while the idea is mutual. It’s a fresh, zesty wine with a feminine character. This is what Furmint's favourite face is like.

„Five hectares is the limit for me. That’s the upper ceiling of quantity and quality that one can control. For me, that point comes at five hectares. The character of a vineyard shows itself the most if we wander around it incessantly; if we live together with the parcel and nature. We experience, learn and improve year after year. Something that worked in 2010 had to be redefined in 2011. In such a dominant and warm year, the differences between the vineyards appear more slowly. I work exclusively with second-fill barrels; the first fill never makes it into the bottle. It would suppress the character of the vineyards.”
