The Szepsy family, now spanning 17 generations, is synonymous with Tokaj’s great wine tradition and the purest expression of terroir-driven, unadorned winemaking. The south-facing Nyúlászó vineyard on the outskirts of Mád, where a combination of old vines rooted in rhyolite tuff, stony and clay-rich soils, imparts a uniquely distinctive minerality and vibrant acidity to the wine made from here. After carefully selected hand harvesting, the fruit was gently pressed, and then the must underwent spontaneous fermentation in wooden barrels, followed by 8 months of ageing in first-fill Hungarian and French oak. The aromas and flavours are filled with white-fleshed fruits – Williams pear, green apple, peach and grapefruit – complemented by spring flowers, while the restrained oak spice reveals itself subtly.
The palate is full of life, fresh and full-bodied, with a long, mineral and saline finish. The spotlight is on the grapes and on the volcanic terroir. A youthful wine with remarkable ageing potential that will reveal even greater complexity over the years.

„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.”
