What it pairs with

  • Carp roe with toast
    High-acid Furmint acts as a palate cleanser against the rich roe.
  • Cucumber and dill salad
    Crisp acidity echoes the cooling freshness of the classic Hungarian side dish.
  • Veal escalope
    The wine's acidity and clean finish complement the lean white meat.

History

Fekete Pince operates from Sárospatak in the northern Tokaj PDO, where vines grown on sheltered south-facing terraces compensate for the region's cooler average temperatures. The cellar tradition in Sárospatak is linked to the city's long Calvinist wine culture.
