Hercegkút Tokaj wine district
A Tokaj winery nestled in the Gombos-hegyi cellar row, where obsidian stone and volcanic soil create wines of distinctive character.
About the winery
Obzidian W.M. is a small Hegyalja estate located in Hercegkút, northwest of Sárospatak, in a quiet valley of the Tokaj wine region. The winery takes its name from the obsidian stone found abundantly in one of its principal vineyard parcels, the Határi plot, where these volcanic rocks shimmer silver among darker stones.
The manufactory crafts its wines from grape clusters clinging to ancient volcanic rock, using the region's recognised and esteemed varieties. Daily work here blends passion with craft discipline: the team creates wines that are approachable and clear, yet carry the distinctive Tokaj character found nowhere else in the world.
The vineyard spans three main parcels: Határi (shaped by perlite, offering cool elegance), Felső-Eszáva (volcanic rhyolite tuff and nyirok soils, yielding mineral-rich wines), and Lapis (warm, south-facing terrain with reliable botrytis, set in reddish volcanic forest soil).

Furmint
An elegant, crisp, fresh and fruit-forward dry white with surprising minerality. The Obzidian Manufactory's foundation wine in a lighter style with notable mineral character. Made from 100% Furmint from the Lapis vineyard, aged in steel.
Furmint
A fragrant, spicy frizzante built on Furmint. Marked by intense bubbles paired with moderate acidity. The Tokaj flavour profile resonates, lingering after each sip. Fresh and vital.
Furmint
A golden dessert wine that, despite its sweetness and high residual sugar, is remarkably lively thanks to beautiful acidity. A blend of Furmint with Hárslevelű, carrying notes of honey and candied orange peel. A flagship wine from the Határi and Lapis vineyards.
Furmint
A sweet Szamorodni-style Tokaji with dried apricot alongside tropical fruit notes. The sweetness is restrained, and the acidity balanced. Clean, refined flavours move between apricot, tropical fruit, warm citrus and honey.
Furmint
A beautiful wine from a generous vintage. The nose is dominated by tropical fruit aromas, peach and quince. Balance comes from elegant acidity, creamy residual sugar and minerality. Long, elegant finish.
Furmint
A lighter, more approachable Aszú from a perfect vintage. An intense, mature dessert wine for those who value balance and fine structure over excessive sweetness. A blend of Furmint and Hárslevelű from the Felső-Eszáva, Határi and Lapis vineyard parcels.
