Stock information
Parcel No. 3573 is distinctive because it still yields the ancient small-berried Furmint clones that were planted in 1934. From the rocky Urbán vineyard on Mád’s west-facing slopes, this oily-textured, dense single-vineyard wine is one of the most exciting in Szepsy's 2021 collection. Constantly windswept, the wine’s character feels as if it comes from a really cool wine region. After destemming, the wine is put straight into barrels without settling the must. Before the harvest, István Szepsy prepares the necessary starter culture, which has reliably enabled spontaneous fermentation since 2014. Tight, marzipan-flavoured and distinctly Tokaj.

„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.”
