World class sweet Tokaji – Barta Öreg Király Late Harvest 2018

Image ~ February 11, 2021February 11, 2021 ~ Zoltán Németi

Since winemaker Ujvári Vivien is in charge at Tokaj producer Barta, the wines are reaching new highs. This late harvested Furmint is just as impressive as it’s dry version from the same vineyard.  Continue reading →

Solid Furmint sparkling from Tokaj: Péter

Image ~ September 24, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi

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

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.

Great Tokaji Szamorodnis on the market #3 – The World Class Balassa Bomboly Szamorodni 2017

Image ~ January 16, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi
The winner of our recent Szamorodni blind tasting. Took the first place for all the three tasters, and got the same high scores, too. It’s in a completely different class, everything else looked a simple drink in comparison, except the Gizella.

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

Image ~ November 2, 2019 ~ Zoltán Németi

I might be overly enthusiastic about this wine, but I’m so happy to find a dry Furmint I really like, as I struggle to love the variety recently (sweet Tokaji is a clear exception, though).
