ISTVÁN SZEPSY ...
... is introducing two unique Tokaji Aszú made from Furmint grapes harvested in two carefully selected parcels of two first-class vineyards on their estate in Mád. The special features of the 2017 vintage, as well as the knowledge and experience of Szepsy’s last three decades, are revealed in these wines in a passionate but understandable way. In 2017 the combination of a lot of sunshine, cold nights and cool dawns, and appropriate precipation, had such a stimulating effect on the quality of the Furmint vines living in the Szent Tamás and Betsek vineyards of the Szepsy estate that a vintage giving lots extraordinary in all respects could manifest. In these wines significant traits of the two vineyards bring a world of flavours in an unparalleled way like never before: beautiful aromas, striking acidity and high aging potential in concentrated, elegant and lively wines.

SZENT TAMÁS ...
... is located in the eastern part of Mád, where the Szepsy family has about 11 hectares of cultivated land at altitudes of 140-230 metres above sea level. The soil here is strikingly layered (red clay, weathered zeolite, hard rhyolite, tuff) due to post-volcanic activity, and this gives top wines from this vineyard the unparalleled mineral, complex and endless length along with several decades of potential. Rated First Class Growth.
