Istvan Szepsy, Tokaj (Hungary) Furmint 2018

May 31, 2023

By Miranda Franco

 The Szepsy family is synonymous with Tokaj wine, their viticultural roots stretching back centuries to the golden age of Hungarian wine.  István Szepsy was instrumental in bringing dry Furmint wines to prominence.  The 2018 mineral-drenched Tokaji Furmint is a compelling reason why we should all drink more dry whites from the Furmint grape.  It has a complex bouquet with pear, wax resin, and well-defined nutmeg aromas.  The palate offers excellent texture, racy refreshment, and fine acidity with a dried pear and bruised apple finish.
