The very cool and delicate nose, with notes of mint and parsley, leads you into this very concentrated and tightly wound dry furmint. Then comes the super-focused and staggeringly deep finish, which makes you feel like you’re dropping into the Marianas Trench! From a single vineyard parcel planted in 1938, therefore very limited production. Made in 300-liter oak casks and bottled without sterile filtration. Drink or hold. Glass stopper.

Country: Hungary

Hungary's wine industry suffered a real drop in reputation throughout most of the twentieth century due to the homogenization of wines under the Soviet Union. However, today the historic wineries of Tokaj and the regions around the great Balaton lake are working tirelessly to bring Hungary's wines to the world once again, and demonstrate just how wonderful and varied the country's produce is. By far the most highly esteemed of all Hungary's wines are the famous Tokaji wines – once the favorite of the crowned heads of Europe, now a favorite with anyone looking for something unique, flavorful and surprising. Tokaji wines are made using noble rot, which withers the grapes and concentrates the sugars of the fruit. The resulting wine is slightly viscous, and packed full of fascinating flavors.
