Description
The Furmint grape variety is the most planted grape in the Tokaj wine region. It plays a key role thanks to the fact that it is able to give elegant, mineral, dry wine as well as late harvest and Aszú. Furmint is not only famous of collecting high residual sugar content but also having nice acidity. Furmint is a perfect grape variety to express the very diverse soil of the terroir of Tokaj region. This wine comes from the Tokaj-Hétszőlő Imperial Estate which derives from the Hétszőlő Single Vineyard from 1502 when 7 parcels of land based on loess soil were assembled. The wine were aged for 8 months in stainless steel tanks with weekly batonnage partly and slightly barrel aged.
Tasting Note :
Nice fruitiness and beautiful nose. We get the same on palate. The wine is well balanced and has nice tropical fruit flavors and also an elegant acidity, minerality. The wine is already charming in its young age but has nice aging potential too. A real pleasure to drink it on its own but would work well with seafood, fish, with green, fresh salad only olive oil on it or with lighter white pasta dishes.
