Béres Tokaji Lőcse Furmint Magnum
The estate’s top dry wine, available in a special 1.5-litre bottle. The larger bottle allows for unique, even more refined bottle aging. A true treat for connoisseurs.
This wine was made from the selected harvest of Furmint vines from the Lőcse vineyard. The must, gently pressed with a maximum pressure of 1 bar, was settled for one night. The clarified must was fermented in new wooden barrels. After fermentation, it was aged for 6 months in barrels of various sizes (2 and 5 hectolitres) with different toasts. During aging, the wine developed its harmonious, rounded, mineral character due to constant lees stirring and micro-oxygenation processes. After the aging process, we crafted the final blend by skilfully marrying the best barrels.
Following a mild winter, the first period of the year brought substantial precipitation. The weather was cooler than average until the end of May. Following this, the weather developed favourably according to the season. Harvest began on 15 September, yielding healthy grape clusters for our sparkling base and dry wines. Significant aszú development appeared in our vineyards due to heavy rainfall in early October. As a result, both our sweet Szamorodni and Aszú wines were made in exceptionally high quality.
The Lőcse vineyard is one of the most important areas of the 45-hectare Béres Vineyard and Winery, covering 15 hectares in the southwestern-western orientation of the Tolcsva-Peres Hill (420 m).
