Béres Tokaji Lőcse Furmint, 2019

The estate’s flagship dry wine, made from selected grapes from the Lőcse vineyard in Erdőbénye. A complex, layered yet dynamic Furmint, marked by pronounced minerality and subtle barrel ageing. Its aroma is dominated by quince, ripe apple, and pear, complemented by pronounced but well-integrated barrel spices. A substantial, full-bodied, mature wine that lingers on the palate.

  • Brief description of viticulture, fermentation, vinification and maturation: This wine was made from the selected harvest of Furmint vines from the Lőcse vineyard. The must, gently pressed with a maximum pressure of 1 bar, was settled for one night. The clarified must was fermented in new wooden barrels. After fermentation, it was aged for 6 months in barrels of various sizes (2 and 5 hectolitres) with different toasts.
  • Special remarks on the wine: During ageing, the wine developed its harmonious, rounded, mineral character due to constant lees stirring and micro-oxygenation processes. After the ageing process, we crafted the final blend by skilfully marrying the best barrels.
