Disznoko Tokaji Dry Furmint

Winemaker Disznoko on the winery

“We are Disznókő, a historic winery in Tokaj, one of Hungary’s most celebrated wine regions. Our estate was recognised as Premier Cru as early as 1732, reflecting the exceptional quality of our vineyards. Since 1992, under the ownership of AXA Millésimes, we have continued to develop the estate while respecting tradition and pursuing precision. Although Tokaj is best known for its rich sweet wines, our dry whites reveal another side of the region: the distinctive Furmint grape, with its freshness, minerality and character.”

And on Tokaj, Hungary

“Our Dry Furmint is made from 100% Furmint, Tokaj’s leading grape variety. The vineyards grow on volcanic soils containing rhyolitic tuff and clay, which contribute to the wine’s distinctive mineral character. We hand-harvest the grapes and gently press the whole bunches. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at 16–18°C. We avoid malolactic fermentation to preserve the wine’s natural freshness and vibrant acidity. The wine then spends several months ageing on fine lees, adding texture. Expect notes of green apple, pear, citrus and almond, with a subtle saline touch and a long, mineral finish.”
