CMB jury review
“Blackcurrant and cooked plum aromas on the nose, with an integrated touch of wood. Silky-smooth tannins on the palate, with well-balanced wood. A long finish.”

Tűzkő Chardonnay Barrique 2023, Tolna

The winery has received gold medals at several international contests for the different vintages of this wine, clearly proving the potential of the variety in the hilly Tolna wine region. Besides the gold medal, Tűzkő was awarded 2 silver medals and 2 Merit certificates.
CMB jury review
“Apricot on the nose, with a touch of wood. On the palate, the wine is straightforward and very elegant, buoyed by fine acidity. The finish continues the fruit on a persistent freshness.”
