Royal Tokaji Dry Furmint

Royal Tokaji Dry Furmint is a vibrant and elegant white wine from Hungary’s historic Tokaj region, crafted by the Royal Tokaji Wine Company—re-established after 1989 to revive the region’s winemaking glory. Made entirely from the indigenous Furmint grape, it is fermented in stainless steel and partly in new oak, followed by ageing on fine lees to add texture and depth.

Delicate pale green-gold hue. The nose is graceful and floral, with aromas of grape flower, green apple, pear blossom and wet stone. On the palate, expect zesty citrus, ripe apricot and peach, underpinned by crisp minerality and a whisper of spice—leading to a clean, bone-dry, long and refreshing finish.

Contains sulphites.

• Oysters or steamed mussels with citrus butter
• Grilled sea bass in lemon-thyme dressing
• Thai lemongrass chicken skewer
• Creamy cauliflower cheese or baked goat’s cheese tart
• Salads with peach, rocket and toasted almonds

This Dry Furmint showcases the unique volcanic–alluvial soils and microclimate of Tokaj, where the Bodrog and Tisza rivers moderate ripening and enhance minerality. Historically celebrated for its sweet Aszú, the region’s dry Furmint has gained acclaim for its clarity and precision—drawing comparisons with top Chablis or Mosel whites. The Royal Tokaji rendition, with its subtle new-oak integration and extended lees contact, balances finesse with depth—making it an ideal aperitif and a versatile food wine.
