Gizella Szil-völgy Furmint-Hárslevelű 2023

A blend of Hárslevelű and Furmint selected from the Szil valley in Tokaj. This is one of our personal favorite wines, balancing intense flavors and rich minerality with a lively fruitiness, managing to stay smooth and elegant even though it’s so rich in flavor. Scents of apricot and tropical fruits, a fine texture and a remarkably long-lasting finish.

About the Gizella winery

Gizella is a small one-man winery in Tokaj, run by László “Laci” Szilágyi, a warm and cheerful winemaker who named the estate after his grandmother Gizella. Where Tokaj is often known for its strict, mineral wines, Laci shows a friendlier, more approachable side of the region.

His wines are juicy, round and rich, easy to drink and offering wonderful value. The focus is on Tokaj’s classic grapes Furmint and Hárslevelű, often blended as a cuvée, with ripe fruit, apricot and tropical notes over a mineral core. Wines that make you want to pour another glass.
