Situated in the picturesque region of Tokaji-Hegyalja in northeastern Hungary, the Megyer estate was classified as “First Growth” in 1772 by Royal decree. In 2002, UNESCO classified the wine region of Tokaj as a ‘Historic Cultural Landscape’. Soils in the region are largely composed of igneous and sedimentary soils. Vines are situated on exposed southwest facing slopes and the area enjoys a Continental climate with cool mornings and hot days during the ripening season.The dry furmint is aged for 8 months in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness of the wine and to allow full mineral expression. Approximately 125,000 bottles are produced each year. This wine is notable for its aromatic intensity. Fresh aromas and flavors of white flowers combine with pear, white peach, litchi and soft aromatic pepper.
