What it pairs with

  • Pan-fried freshwater fish
    Simple mineral Furmint is the local pairing for fresh-caught Tisza-region fish.
  • Cucumber salad with sour cream
    The wine's clean acidity cuts through the creamy sour-cream dressing.
  • Soft fresh cheese
    Clean mineral Furmint with simple fresh cheese is the everyday Tokaj pairing.

History

Erzsébet Pince was founded in 1989 by Erzsébet Prácser, one of the region's first female winemakers, on Tokaj town's historic Bem Street wine-trading corridor. The dry Furmint has been the family's everyday wine from the first post-Communist private vintage.
