Solid Furmint sparkling from Tokaj: Péter

Image ~ September 24, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi ~ Leave a comment

I find it a bit confusing that besides many sweet and dry white styles Tokaj producers started to make sparklings in recent years as well. Nevertheless this example from Péter Pince is quite convincing…

Good midweek dry Tokaji – Gizella Furmint / Hárslevelű 2019

Image ~ July 16, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi ~ Leave a comment

A quite common Furmint and Hárslevelű blend from one of the best producers of Tokaj, positioned just under 10 Euros so that it’s affordable. Production is also considerably bigger for this entry level white, than for the top wines.

A great dry Furmint – Kovács Nimród Winery 2015, Eger, Hungary
