What it pairs with

  • Veal paprikash with egg noodles
    The wine's fuller body and acidity stand up well to the cream-enriched paprika sauce.
  • Pan-fried pike-perch
    High-acid Furmint is a classic pairing with the Tisza valley's characteristic freshwater fish.
  • Goat's cheese salad with honey dressing
    The wine's ripe fruit and acidity balance the sweet-tangy dressing.

History

Papp Pince in Tarcal occupies south-facing volcanic terraces on Kopasz-hegy (Bald Hill), one of the warmest vine-growing sites in the entire Tokaj PDO. The historically classified Mézes Mály vineyard is a short distance away; the family tends plots in this same sun-drenched area.
