Chateau Dereszla, Dry Tokaji

The Furmint grapes for Dry Tokaji wines such as this are picked much earlier than those for their sweet counterparts. Though they don’t therefore have the sugar levels, some characteristics of those famous stickies remain in the flavours of apricots and orange with a deliciously gentle spicy backbone, a pronounced texture, as well as high acidity and a notably long finish. The Furment is blended with 15% Harslevelu grape variety to enhance the crisp, fresh character of this wine. Delicious with many poultry or fish dishes.

Situated in the heart of the Tokaj region, the origins of Chateau Dereszla can be traced back to the 18th century. The Estate owns 27 hectares spread across the designated “Grand Cru” area, and the large diversity of soils throughout these vineyard holdings is a crucial factor in the complexity of their wines. The historic cellars were fully renovated in 2003 and equipped with state-of-the-art winemaking technology. The winemaking team has a long-established expertise in vinification, as well as sharing a dedication to perfection and passion for the beautiful wines that they produce.
