Description
The wines of Tokaj are the product of over 1200 years of melting together different cultures over a unique combination of geology and climate. In a way, József and Judit Bodó, both originally from Csallóköz, an ethnic Hungarian region in Slovakia are perpetuating this tradition of cultural exchange. Judit first came to Tokaj to assist another winemaker; almost instantly, she knew she wanted to set up her own project in the intensely volcanic, historic soils of Hungary's most important region. When she and József first discovered the Csontos vineyard, they knew the search was over: the rich, forest soil captures Furmint's natural ability to maintain a balance of sugar and acid, showcasing a chalk-like texture coupled with dried fruit, honey, spice and a mineral backbone.
