They call it by name, because it’s unforgettable.
Kacsa started as an idea – a Tokaj wine that’s light yet substantial. This is a Furmint that doesn’t take itself too seriously but one that still shows off its excellent origins. A few vintages have passed since then, and what we only sensed back then, we now know for sure: this wine is exactly where it belongs. It is a blend of several Mád vineyards, made in a reductive style.
The style is lean, fruity and mineral, in pure proportions. On the palate, it reveals crisp apple, citrus, a touch of white peach and a subtle saline-chalky note that gently highlights Furmint’s natural character. The 2024 vintage has everything there is to love about this variety.
This is the kind of Furmint you can fall for at first taste, and the more you try it, the more you realise it’s not just an introduction but a benchmark.

„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.”
