WINESOFEXCELLENCE.COM Béres was recognized as Hungary's most beautiful vineyard in 2015. The Béres 2016 Tokaji Dry Furmint is a well-structured, fresh, and fruity wine with cedar and lemon character in the nose and peach flavor. It has a shining, clear yellow color and the playful, lively acids give the wine freshness. For more information, go to furmintusa.com. Healing Drops from Tokaj BÉRES GOES FROM LEGENDARY MEDICINE TO CELEBRATED WINE Béres is one of Hungary's most prestigious brands. It all started in the pharmaceuti- cal field in the 1970s with Béres Drops, a wildly successful trace-element supple- ment that enhances the immune system. The inventor's son Dr. József Béres and his wife, Klára, were always admirers of both Tokaj wines and the natural beauty of the region. They decided to establish a winery to produce equally successful wines, intended to carry Tokaj's fame well beyond Hungary's borders. Béres Vineyards and Winery was estab- lished in 2002, and currently encom- passes 113 acres of prime Tokaj land. It is known for its cutting-edge processing plant balanced by its deep respect for traditional winemaking techniques. Even more impressive is that this area is home to the first written mention of Furmint as a grape variety, dating back to 1611.
