In its nose we can find citrus, elderflower, linden blossom and fresh tropical fruit notes. We enjoy the same fruits and on palate too along with some elegant minerality and acidity. The residual sugar and the refreshing acidity give an excellent balance. It is very charming to ask for a second glass thanks to its light and elegant body.
Hungary was once considered one of the world's leading wine countries, with their distinctive and flavorful wines being the favorites of Europe's royal families until the early 20th century and the fall of the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary. The Soviet Union all but obliterated Hungary's wine traditions, replacing their unique produce with the sweet and characterless red wines the country is still often associated with, yet thankfully, the past twenty five years has seen an impressive return to form. All over the historic Tokaj region, craftsmen and master vintners are using the grape varietals which thrive on the hillsides in the hot summers and long autumns to once again produce the amazingly flavored Tokaji wines – a wine made by allowing the grapes to wither on the vine, thus concentrating the sugars and producing remarkable flavors and aromas of marzipan, dried fruits, pear and candied peel.
Region
Tokaj
Tokaj is a prestigious wine appellation nestled in Hungary, renowned for its exceptional sweet wines crafted from Furmint, Hárslevelű, and Muscat grapes. What sets Tokaj apart is its legendary production method, dating back to the 16th century, known as "noble rot." This natural occurrence, where grapes are infected by a specific mold, Botrytis cinerea, concentrates sugars, imparting Tokaj wines with their distinct sweetness and complex flavors of apricot, honey, and spice.
Moreover, Tokaj's terroir, characterized by volcanic soils and a unique microclimate along the Tisza and Bodrog rivers, contributes to the wines' unparalleled character and aging potential. The region's classification system, based on the level of sweetness and botrytis concentration, further underscores Tokaj's sophistication and diversity. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned oenophile, exploring Tokaj wines offers a fascinating journey into centuries-old traditions, exceptional craftsmanship, and the exquisite beauty of Hungarian winemaking.
