Tokaji Szamorodni

2017
Botrytis Tokaji dry wine speciality from a wonderful year. A perfect example of Tokaj-ness meeting maturity. A very complex texture, which has been further concentrated during the three years of ageing in oak barrels. Parameters reminiscent of cherry wines, with infinite ageing potential. We recommend it as an aperitif, or as an accompaniment to roasts and game dishes with character.

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.
