This was not a simple wine competition: it is an integral part of Wines of Hungary&#8217;s comprehensive, long-term German market campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the quality of Hungarian terroir wines, primarily dry whites, among the B2B target audience in a conscious and consistent manner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did we get here?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The choice of theme did not fall on the Furmint &amp; Friends concept by chance. Based on feedback from German importers and traders attending the 2025 Hungarian Wine Summit, it was clear that dry white wines showcasing terroir are generating enormous interest in the German market, and the narrative surrounding Furmint \u2013 the variety, the region, the style \u2013 is ripe to appeal to a more serious professional audience. This industry feedback provided the basis for Wines of Hungary to focus on the theme of Furmint &amp; Friends and related varieties \u2013 dry Furmint, Olaszrizling, and other indigenous white varieties.<\/p>\n<p>The call for entries was published on the Meininger website in October 2025, while the Hungarian Wine Marketing Agency notified winemakers and major partner institutions in its newsletter that all Hungarian wineries were eligible to enter, regardless of whether they were already present on the German market. The deadlines were strict: samples had to be received by October 24, with tasting on November 5. The timing was no coincidence: the aim was to have the results published in early February, just before <a href=\"https:\/\/prowein.bor.hu\/\">ProWein<\/a>, so that wines scoring over 87 points could be presented at the Wines of Hungary stand and the results could also reinforce the Furmint February campaign.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A total of 58 Hungarian wines scored over 87 points in the tasting from more than 100 entries, and featured in the Meininger publication \u2013 a platform whose digital newsletter reaches more than 8,000 importers, retailers, and professional decision-makers.<\/p>\n<p>In the three categories \u2013 Furmint, Furmint &amp; Friends, and Friends \u2013 the following wines took the top spots:<\/p>\n<p>The winner of the <strong>Friends category<\/strong> was <strong>Lenkey 2006 \u201eT\u00edz \u00e9v ut\u00e1n\u201d (Ten Years Later) Bomboly H\u00e1rslevel\u0171 (Tokaj)<\/strong>, which won the field with 93 points. The vintage itself sends a message: a 2006 H\u00e1rslevel\u0171 that still holds its own today demonstrates precisely the complexity and aging potential that few people know about Tokaj whites.<\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>Furmint &amp; Friends category<\/strong>, the highest score was achieved by <strong>St. Andrea&#8217;s 2023 M\u00e1ria Egri Cuv\u00e9e Grand Superior (Eger<\/strong>) with 92 points. The victory of the Eger wine in the Tokaj-dominated field is also noteworthy and clearly shows that Furmint is no longer exclusively a Tokaj variety.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"image-with-caption__wrapper \">\n            <div class=\"image__wrapper\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bor.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/furmint.jpg\" alt=\"furmint\" class=\"ofi-cover-center-center\">\n        <\/div>\n    \n    <\/div><div class=\"text__wrapper\">\n    <p>In the <strong>Furmint category<\/strong>, the top four wines tied for first place, each receiving 93 points: <strong>Pendits Winery&#8217;s 2013 Krak\u00f3 Furmint (Tokaj)<\/strong>, <strong>Samuel Tinon&#8217;s<\/strong> <strong>2022 Birtok Furmint (Tokaj)<\/strong>, <strong>TR Wines Tokaj&#8217;s 2022 TR Palota Organic wine (Tokaj)<\/strong> and <strong>Pannon Tokaj&#8217;s 2021 Dominium Furmint (Tokaj)<\/strong> achieved the highest scores. The fact that different vintages and wineries achieved the same top score also testifies to the exceptional homogeneity and depth of the Tokaj dry Furmint category, but Soml\u00f3 and Badacsony were also represented among the leaders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This coverage is not just a momentary success: professionals visiting ProWein can encounter these wines at the Wines of Hungary stand, and the Meininger article will serve as a long-term reference point for Hungarian dry white wines. Wines of Hungary has once again demonstrated that the Hungarian wine sector is capable of attracting serious professional attention in the most competitive markets through conscious, strategically thought-out work.<\/p>\n<\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section__news-list\" style=\"background-color: #f3f4f8;\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12\">\n\n                                    <h4 class=\"section-title\">Olvasd el ezeket is!<\/h4>\n                \n                <div\n                    class=\"news-list__wrapper js-news-container\"\n                    data-limit=3                    data-order=DESC>\n                <\/div>\n\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":6674,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10482","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
