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. Urbán 73 is a secluded, little-known plot in Mád, where the vines planted in 1938 still stand. Old clones, deep roots, concentrated raw material. In 2022, the harvest took place as early as the end of August. The wine was fermented in new and second-fill barrels, then aged for seven months. It has a dense texture and is full-bodied but not heavy – the 8.3 g/l of residual sugar integrates smoothly into the wine’s natural momentum. A rare and multi-layered Furmint.

„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.”
