Tasting note
A beautiful nose of pineapple, dried apricot and acacia. Tropical fruits, mostly mango and papaya dominate the palate with some playful menthol/herbal character. The sweetness is wonderfully balanced with depth and freshness.
Viticulture
This is a blend dominated by the Furmint grape, the hero of all Tokaji sweet wines. It is blended with some Yellow Muscat for additional aroma, and the unusual Kabar grape (a crossing of Hárslevelű and Bouvier). From estate-owned vineyards.
Vinification
Furmint grapes, some of which are shriveled due to noble rot, are harvested in whole bunches then picked and separated. 12-hour cold-soak in stainless steel tanks. Indigenous yeast fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aged in stainless steel only to retain the vibrant fruit.
Food Match
Fresh figs, millefeuille, panna cotta, soft cheeses.
