Tokaj

Tokaji is one of the world’s great heritage wines. The sweet Aszú wines from Tokaji are recorded in history as far back as 1571. In fact, the most expensive bottle collector Thomas Jefferson ever bought was not a Lafite but a sweet wine from Tokaji. The magic of Tokaji is the region’s position at the convergence of two rivers. These rivers encourage early morning mists to drift across the vineyards, providing a perfect environment for botrytis (“noble rot”) to flourish. The vines have such low yields that one vine can often yield only one glass of wine! The Aszú grapes are picked, crushed and fermented in large Hungarian oak barrels with natural yeasts. This is a highly traditional method of wine-making which has not changed for centuries.


The uniquely exciting thing about top-level Tokaji is its incredible freshness, which balances out the natural sweetness. If you taste a top Tokaji next to Château d’Yquem you immediately feel the difference across your palate. These are exceptional wines, made in tiny quantities with incredible skill, and they are massively in demand.

Gold reflections glimmer in this amber-colored sweet wine that has aromas of apricot, yellow peach and Bartlett pear. The palate shows flavors of acacia honey, canned apricot and Anjou pear. The finish has enough acidity to stand up to the sweetness.

Facing south and southwest, the Nyulászó vineyard features brown and yellow clay soil. Minerality sets the tone of this 2016 dry Furmint, with struck match, ripe peaches, honeysuckle and dusty dried apricot aromas. The palate is explosive, warm and spicy, with layers of citrus, dried apricot, fig, melon and hints of white pepper, refreshed by a solid backbone of acidity. The concentrated flavours follow all the way to the lingering finish, complex and sophisticated.

The Szepsy Szamorodni 2016, an upstanding ambassador of Hungary's celebrated wine-making tradition, hails from the meticulously cultivated Szepsy vineyards of the renowned Tokaj region. Renowned winemaker, István Szepsy, employs low-intervention techniques, allowing the distinctiveness of each vintage to express itself. The Szepsy Szamorodni 2016, with its assemblage of primarily Furmint and Harslevelu grapes, is nurtured on mineral-rich volcanic soil.

This illustrious wine reflects a perfect harmony of sweetness and tang, adding layers of complexity to a precise, focused palate. Notes of white peach, honeyed fig, and gentle oak fuse seamlessly, rebounding with hints of zesty tangerine and a subtle minerality. The elegance of its clean, linear acidity and unique textural depth mesmerizes the connoisseur.

Embodying Szepsy's philosophy of balance, respect for nature, and mastery over craft, the Szepsy Szamorodni 2016 stands as a testament to the remarkable potential of Tokaj white wines. Each bottle encapsulates a memorable year and the essence of an esteemed Hungarian terroir.
