The estate wine of István Szepsy – pioneer of dry Furmint, yield limitation and classification – blended from low-yield vineyards in Mád, Tállya and Tarcal. Fermented in barrel and tank, then aged for 7 months in new and second-fill 300-litre oak barrels, without malolactic fermentation. The 2023 vintage brought challenges – due to hail, fewer single-vineyard wines were made – but blending grapes from different terroirs resulted in exciting proportions: fruitiness, richness and minerality, all in the right place and balance. Intense character, with aromas of pear, apple and a hint of honey. The palate is creamy, citrusy and broad, with subtle saltiness and elegant structure in the background.

„I’ve been saying for 20 years that we’d stop adding new areas. However, we just can’t stop ourselves! Now it’s the andesite soil of Tállya and its five first-class vineyards that excite me. Once it accounted for most of the grapes in the wine region. My wife’s hairdresser has even asked me why I go there so often. We discover 800-year-old vineyard names and each parcel hides a surprise. The 2011 wines seem suspiciously good: that’s when it’s the most nerve wrecking for the winemaker. Again it showed that there is no recipe in winemaking; the practice of walking the vineyards and experimenting cannot be replaced by anything. Every day we try to make our wines believing that the wine region will once again be at the place where it should be.”
