WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Béres Tokaji Furmint Selection begins with a manual harvest to ensure optimal grape selection. The must undergoes gentle pressing and overnight settling before fermentation. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees (sur lie) within traditional 215-liter Hungarian oak barrels (Zemplén), a technique that contributes to its texture and complexity. The winery's approach emphasizes quality and the expression of the Tokaj terroir.
