Hungarian Furmint was also impressive, winning all three platinum medals in style based on one sweet and two dry varieties. The famous sweet Tokaji aszú and Szamorodni are not new to the competition’s medal list. Wine lovers know them from the 16th century to the present day. Furmint as a dry wine is growing steadily worldwide and the results show that quality is on the rise, with Oremus Mandolás Tokaji Furmint 2020, Tokaj-Hétszőlő’s Selection 2011 both scoring 97 points and Dobogó Winery’s Úrágya Furmint 2019 got 95 points (gold medal).

In 2021, Hungarian wines received 191 gold and grand-gold awards, and in 2022 a total of 180 gold and grand-gold awards, compared to 30 or more per year in 2020 and the years before.
