Furmint is the grape here folks, and it has a knack for producing incredible wines across the spectrum, from bone-dry to sticky-sweet. This barrel-fermented number boasts attractive aromatics of sweet spice with a lovely candied apple character on the nose. This is fresh, with plenty of citrus energy, and taut tension with a lick of tannin on the finish.

Bodrog Winery was founded in 2007 by János Hajdú and Krisztián Farkas who at the time, were a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed duo fresh out of university with their winemaking degrees and on a mission to make their mark on the wine world. They started out with a modest 1.2 hectares of vineyard land which is passed on to them by their families. Since then the pair have grown their holdings to just over four hectares. Bodrog produces an impressive range of both still and dessert wines ranging from dry whites, to late harvest sweets, all the way up to the infamous sticky wines under the Tokaji Aszú designation - these are amongst the most famous sweet wines in the world. János and Krisztián have had two quite different entries into the wine game. János is from the nearby township of Kisfaludi; here his family have been tending to vines for generations, vines which here eventually passed on to Bodrog. Krisztián has taken a slightly different route; born in Budapest, he cut his teeth first as a sommelier and later as a wine merchant, before leaving the world of wine commerce behind to pursue his lifelong dream with his friend.
