The excellent Aszú berries with good structure and perfect botrytis were macerated in fermenting must for two days. After pressing and finishing fermentation in barrel the wines were filled into Hungarian oak casks in our extensive, deep underground cellars to mature for over two years. The final blends were carefully crafted in the spring of 2021.
Szt. Tamás is a celebrated First Growth vineyard sloping southwest and overlooking the Royal Tokaji winery in Mád. The soil is rich, red clay interspersed with indigo and purple volcanic rocks on and below the surface. Royal Tokaji owns 16 ha of parcels planted with Furmint vines with an average age of around 30 years.
This wine is typically structured and concentrated with plenty of fruit and vanilla on the nose, dominated by apricot and marmalade. A cascade of fruit on the palate followed by pear and peach flavours, balancing acidity and a very long and complete finish.
Enjoy now or cellar for future enjoyment as the wine matures. Sip on its own as an aperitif, serve with fruit-based desserts or hard cheeses, or enjoy this mouth-watering wine on its own instead of a dessert.
