Mézes Mály is one of just two vineyards classified as a Great First Growth. Its volcanic bedrock is overlaid with deep loess soil, giving elegance, finesse and floral notes to its wines. Royal Tokaji owns 11 of its 19 hectares, facing south with views to the Great Plain
in the distance.

Our summer in 2018 was long and warm, with temperatures frequently exceeding 35 degrees Celcius. As a result, the grapes ripened quickly and evenly, and we were able to start the grape harvest for dry wines in August – three weeks earlier than the previous record. The last Furmint grapes for dry styles were picked at Szt. Tamás on September 10th, which is usually considered early for the start of the harvest for dry wines, let alone the finish.

After harvesting the Furmint grapes, whole bunches were pressed and fermented in Zemplén oak barrels. After fermentation the wine was matured for six months in oak.

Mézes Mály Furmint is a sleek, concentrated wine with elegance and a subtle floral character, hints of spice, and plenty of white peach and apricot fruit all balanced by refreshing, crisp acidity and a lingering finish.
