Territory

Style
white wine
ABV%

Largely shrivelled grapes were picked at a very high Brix due to the typicality of the vintage. Bunches were lightly crushed and then gently pressed before fermentation in a stainless steel tank. The wine spent 6 months in new and 2nd-fill Zemplén oak barrels. Straw yellow in colour, it shows an oily texture as the legs slide down the glass slowly. A hint of citrus on the nose is complemented by mango and apricot aromas. Apricot dominates the taste, as well, and the wine melts almost like sugar candy on the palate, flooding it with tonnes of playful flavours. A long finish lingers for minutes.

Characteristics
Its dry wines boast high acidity, great complexity, excellent structure and characteristic aromatics. They may be steely yet elegant in cooler vintages. Dry wines produced from ripe, but not overripe, grapes, harvested at full maturity, without any botrytised berries, can command high prices and have decades of ageing potential. They can be made from any of the permitted Tokaj varieties, but Furmint or Hárslevelű are the most common, followed by Sárgamuskotály.Sweet wines can deliver a wonderful sensory experience, depending on the sugar and dry extract content.Late-harvested sweet wines can be made good quality in the right vintages, but they are usually made from grapes which are either not botrytised or just have a touch of botrytis. Botrytis also concentrates the sugar and acidity in the grapes, so Tokaj sweet wines are well-balanced and lively and retain their fruitiness for a long time. Tokaj’s sweet wines are not dessert wines but rather balanced, often terroir wines, which happen to contain residual sugar.
