Barta Tokaji Sweet Szamorodni

2015
Territory
Tokaj, Hungary
Style
white wine
2015 was a hot and dry year, allowing grapes to accumulate high levels of sugar by the time harvest was to start for Szamorodni-style wines, whose volumes, however, were rather low, as there was hardly any botrytisation in this vintage. Fermentation took place in 220-litre Zemplén oak barrels, followed by 18 months of ageing in 2nd-fill, 3rd-fill and 4th-fill oak before bottling. Pollen and acacia honey dominate the nose, complemented by white-flesh fruits, tangerine and a hint of grapefruit.

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.
