Their goal was to bring an exciting new interpretation of dry Furmint from one of the great, yet forgotten, wine regions to the world’s attention. Tokaj’s importance dates back to the early 16th century, when its wines became a status symbol among the aristocracy of Europe. All this was forgotten during the Communist era, when the vineyards were nationalized and tasked with producing cheap wine in bulk, but was rediscovered in the 1990s, when foreign investment poured in and local winemakers once again focused on making quality wines. Those from Mád Moser display great freshness, complexity and structure combined with the unique individual character of Hungary’s most famous grape.
