Chateau Dereszla

The Dereszla Winery has one of the richest histories among those in the Tokaji Wine Region in Hungary- Hungarian history itself can be traced through the cellar's past. Today, Château Dereszla is a 60 hectares winery. The region was inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list in 2002. The D'Aulan family from France took over the Estate in 2000 with the strong belief that a winery in such a historic region was worth being revived again.

Chateau Dereszla Dry Tokaji 2014   This is an elegant wine, with smooth acidity and a hint of spice on the palate. This is one of the best expressions of Furmint from the region. Chateau Dereszla is one of the few producers that revived Kabar as a varietal. The addition of Kabar in this wine, enhances the aroma and rounds up the body. Kabar and a portion of Furmint was matured in oak creating a wine with a round body with a serious character. Muscat and the rest of the Furmint remained in tanks to maintain its crisp and fresh notes. It is best served chilled as an aperitif, or pair with fish or shellfish. 86% Furmint, 9% Yellow Muscat, 5% Kabar
