Wine for sale: Demeter Zoltán

Demeter Zoltán

One of the greatest Tokaj producers in the world, Demeter Zoltan created his domain in 1996, in collaboration with Ivan Szepsi to begin with, then on his own since the 2000s. His goal? To bring back to the spotlight the regional terroirs, somewhat neglected by 50 years of communist collectivism. The winemaker originally underwent horticultural training in Budapest, then in France, Britain and the United States. Today, he makes use of 7 hectares of vines that benefit from the influence of local, schist soils. Here, he cultivates the local, noble grape varieties (Furmint, Harslevelu and Sarga Muskotaly), carrying out dry vinifications as well as late harvests and sweet wines.
