The tasting |
|
|
Bright pale yellow. |
|
| | |
|
Discreet on the nose when first opened, aerate to reveal a hint of star anise followed by a smoky mineral note of volcanic origin, in a clean and fresh style. |
|
| | |
|
Delicate and mouth-watering palate, carried by a mineral tension and a vibrant freshness that elegantly prolongs the nose. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
A true icon of Tokaj, the Disznókő estate stands as a benchmark in Hungary’s wine landscape, producing some of the finest sweet wines in the world. Wine lovers know it well: the vibrancy and purity of these legendary wines are virtually unmatched. Tokaj remains one of the last great regions where noble rot—botrytis—is elevated with such intensity and freshness.
But Disznókő isn’t just about sweet wines. The estate also crafts outstanding dry Whites, and their Furmints rival the Loire Valley’s finest, celebrated for their precision, energy, and elegance. |

Shaped by its volcanic terroir, the 2023 Tokaj Furmint Dry White reveals subtle smoky, mineral and aniseed notes. It benefits from decanting or being served in a large-bowled glass to let its character unfold. On the palate, its crisp profile carries through with a delicate, mouthwatering texture — an easy-drinking wine that shines alongside seafood, marinated or smoked fish. Refreshing and remarkably drinkable. |
