VINEYARD SELECTION TOKAJI FURMINT DRY 2017

Concentrated wine with a firm but floral aroma, hints of apple and gooseberry leading into an intense, structured, medium-bodied style showing minerality, spice, and a long crisp finish. After a chilly January, the temperature has rose step by step and continuously. Relatively high temperature in summer contributed to a quite early ripening and the early set of the botrytis. An outstanding vintage with nice balance in the dries and unbelievable richness in the sweets.

Furmint grapes were harvested at the end of September from Szt. Tamás and Nyulászó vineyards. Whole bunches were pressed and fermented in Zemplén oak barrels. After fermentation we matured the wine for six months in 300 litre and 500 litre barrels. The final blend has a proportion of 20% new oak.
Nice companion to barbecued white meats, even some more serious veal and pork dishes. Fits perfect the traditional Hungarian meat cuisine.
Serving temperature at 11 – 13 °C.
