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 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.
