The Tokaji wines, both dry and sweet, of Orosz Gabor have been in and out of our range over the last few years thanks to Covid and a period of non availability, so we’re thrilled to have these distinctive wines back with us!
A native of the Tokaji region, Orosz grew up among his winemaking relatives in the vineyards around the town of Màd. Shortly after the break up of the Soviet bloc, he was able to start his own winery in the same town in 1994. There are just over 7 hectares in production on some of Tokaji’s finest terroirs, including first growths Kiraly and Betsek.
The area is dominated by over 400 extinct volcanoes, and the combination of tufa, red clay and silicas with the local grape varieties, Furmint and Harslevelu, results in dry wines as complex as the soils: meadow flowers, quince, honey, stones, saffron.
Both Birtok, a blend of vineyards, and Betsek, a single vineyard Furmint, are rich and authoritative, exciting and original to taste. The sweet wines are of course world famous, setting the standard by which all sweet wines are judged. Each bottle showed at our shop tastings have blown our customers away, so if you haven’t tried these unique, delicious wine yet, make sure you change that soon!
