As I can’t travel back to my homeland, Hungary, I chose to bring all of you along virtually to the most famous Hungarian terroir: Tokaj. Dorka Homoky is a young vigneron working organically on less than 3 ha that she inherited from her parents near Tállya, in the Western part of the Tokaj region. You can learn about why „every great Furmint has a little Hárslevelű” in it, how Sauternes diverges from Tokaj, why sweet wines become untrendy and how to possibly reverse that, different bedrocks in the region and how Tállya stands out in relief. I can’t wait to try her wines, because spontaneously fermented rich whites from volcanic terroir have always been my “blood type”, and I hope that I could convince you to desire the same.  2:03 – Growing up in a Tokaj Winemaking Family & Beginning9:13 – Winemaking in Socialism10:39 – Tokaj Terroir & Tállya18:50 – Homoky Vineyard Sites23:43 – Typical Tokaj Varieties32:18 – Sauternes vs Tokaj34:53 – Why sweet wines become untrendy?40:26 – Szamorodni & Aszú & Puttony45:28 – Homoky Dorka Portfolio - Hetény48:23 – Cellar work & Barrels53:28 – Görbe Sárga Muskotály with Skin Contact57:21 – Dorka’s Favourite Wines58:46 – Sas Alja & Hárslevelű52:10 – Typical Hárslevelű1:01:53 – Future Plans & Love for French Wines (also reds)1:06:16 – “Cedar Red Petnat” Guest: Dorka Homoky / @dorkahomokyWinery: Homoky Dorka Winery, Hungary / @homokydorkawines | Support & Get Exclusive on the Wine Ghosts Patreon Site: https://www.patreon.com/wineghosts| Join the Wine Ghosts Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/wineghosts/| Wine Ghosts' Channels (Instagram, Podcast etc.): https://linktr.ee/wineghosts| Wine Ghosts Website: www.wineghosts.com| Wine Ghosts' E-Mail: [email protected]
