In the May edition of The Wine Merchant, Top Selection’s very own Ferenc Zelenak shared his journey from Hungary’s Teleki Grand Cru to the wine lists of the northern Home Counties and East Anglia.
With a background as colourful as his personality, from military school to butlering, Trinidad to St Albans, Ferenc’s path to becoming one of the UK’s most passionate wine reps is anything but ordinary. His entrepreneurial spirit and deep-rooted love for Hungarian wine brought him to Top Selection in 2019, where he now brings boutique wines and big energy to his trade customers across the Midlands and beyond.
Ferenc is especially proud to represent projects close to his heart, including Ulmus, Top Selection’s exclusive new label, and the exceptional wines of the Szepsy family, including the vibrant Hun Furmint and the ethereal Cuvée Anastasia. For Ferenc, these wines are more than listings. They are stories worth telling.
