The character of Szepsy wines truly deepens over time – and now, a few exceptional wines are finally being bottled in a format that most clearly reflects this philosophy. The 1.5-litre, or magnum bottle, is not just different in size: this scale speaks of seriousness, respect for time and place. It is also a technological milestone – for a long time, there were no regulations or forms for it in Tokaj – but it is even more so a stylistic statement: the focus is on the terroir and the Furmint grape variety, which can convey this most clearly. From one of Tokaj’s most famous vineyards, narrowed down to a single parcel. Parcel 46 is a slice of the Szent Tamás vineyard hill, from which a linear, pure and concentrated wine has been created. The 2022 harvest took place at the end of August, then the wine was made in new and used barrels, with seven months of ageing. It has minimal residual sugar (3 g/l), a subtly creamy texture and a taut but not severe structure. The depth of the wine is what makes it memorable. It is a generous and uplifting Furmint, which is being released in this format for the first time, in a limited quantity and large format.
