The estate is located in the heart of the Tokaji region, on slopes surrounding the famous wine village of Sárospatak. It was long acknowledged for having one of the finest vineyards of the region. Its volcanic, rocky soils ensure that the native varieties – Furmint, Muscat, Hárslevelu and Zéta – are both rich in natural acidity and concentration and the location between the Bodrog and Tisza rivers makes it ideal for attaining noble rot, indispensable for producing the sweet Aszú wines.

 

TASTING NOTES: Straw colored in the glass, this dry Hungarian Furmint has aromas of guava, pineapple and quince. In the mouth it is well balanced with flavors of lemon pith, lemon curd and white flowers. The finish has gentle florality.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Like other crisp white wines it would go with simply cooked fish and shellfish especially crab and prawns. Sushi and tempura (Isa Bal suggested tempura of red mullet and sea vegetables (kombu) with a sweet and sour dip,) Salads and vegetable dishes that include citrus, especially orange.
