Featured bottle: Szepsy Tokaj Nyúlászó Furmint dry 2022 750ml — 239 ILS, In stock.
Also known as: Szepsy Istvan. The canonical producer name is Szepsy.
Region: Hungary - Tokaj
Tokaj in Hungary is considered the country's most important and prestigious wine region, especially for Furmint, Hungary's great native grape. The village of Mád is regarded as one of Tokaj's finest zones, and the famous Szent Tamás vineyard has earned the nickname "the Montrachet of Eastern Europe" for its exceptional quality. Historic Tokaji wine was sought after by European nobility for centuries and appears often in historical documents as a rare delicacy. The Jewish community of Tokaj once played a central role in the local wine trade as growers, winemakers, and merchants, until it was almost entirely destroyed in the Holocaust, when the Jews of the region were deported to Auschwitz. Furmint is one of the world's most versatile grape varieties, comparable to Chenin Blanc and Riesling. It can produce sparkling, dry, sweet, and late-harvest wines. With climate change, Tokaj is gradually shifting from sweet wines toward dry wines, in a process similar to what happened in Germany with Riesling. Furmint also has an exceptional ability to preserve high acidity, especially when affected by botrytis. Szepsy is unquestionably one of Hungary's greatest and most influential wineries, especially in historic Tokaj. István Szepsy, a seventh-generation winemaker, became a central figure in Tokaj's renewal after communism, leading a quiet but profound revolution that placed vineyard, terroir, and precise work above industrial production. Szepsy helped recognize the potential of dry Furmint at a time when it was still a revolutionary idea, and was among the founders of the Dry Tokaji movement. The estate focuses on historically important parcels such as Szent Tamás, Úrágya, Nyúlászó, Király, and Birsalmás, using very low yields, manual selection, and near-organic work. The wines range from structured, mineral dry whites to classic Tokaji Aszú made only in exceptional years.
