Production of Tokaji Furmint dry from Tokaj-Hétszőlő

The grapes for Tokaji Furmint dry – Tokaj-Hétszőlő come from selected sites around the historic wine town of Tokaj. The continental climate with warm summers, sunny autumn days and cool nights gives the berries intense aromas. The nearby rivers and gentle hills favor slow, even ripening. Volcanic soils with tuff, pumice and clay components give the wine its distinctive minerality and tension.

Furmint reacts sensitively to location and vineyard management. The organically certified vineyards of Tokaj-Hétszőlő follow a close-to-nature philosophy. Yields are deliberately kept low so that more concentration goes into each individual berry. During the ripening phase, regular canopy work and careful grape selection directly on the vine take place.

The harvest is selective and by hand, once the grapes appear fully ripe and aromatically dense. Damaged or unripe berries do not go into processing. This creates a grape base of high quality, great aromatic purity and clear varietal typicity. After harvesting, the grapes are gently brought to the cellar, where they are softly pressed.

Fermentation takes place under temperature control so that the fine fruit aromas and the typical Furmint spice are preserved. Maturation takes place predominantly in stainless steel tanks, which enhances freshness and precision. Depending on the vintage, small portions in wooden barrels contribute additional depth and complexity without dominating the wine. The result is clear, elegant and terroir-driven.

The style of the Tokaj-Hétszőlő estate is based on tradition and modern precision. Focus: authentic Furmint wines with radiant fruit, mineral tension and a finely silky structure. Every step, from the vineyard to bottling in the classic Burgundy bottle with screw cap, pursues this goal.
