Tasting note
Pale gold colour. Aromas are dominated by dried tropical fruits such as apricot and mango, with a herbal hint. Rich in taste, very sweet but elegant too, with freshness and orange peel flavours.
Viticulture
This is a blend dominated by the Furmint grape, the hero of all Tokaji sweet wines, blended with Hárslevelű, Kabar, Yellow Muscat and Zéta. Average vine age is 30-35 years at am elevation 180-200 meters above sea level.
Vinification
Grapes are affected by noble rot, causing the sugars, acids and flavours to concentrate. They are hand-harvested with very strict selection. Fermented in barrels with indigenous yeast. Aged in new oak for 20 months.
Food Match
Classically paired with a terrine, especially duck liver or game terrine with dried apricots, raisins and pistachios.
