Notes & Pairings
The Tokaji Furmint is somewhere in between Somló and Ság in terms of acidity and sugar. And while the Ság and Somló soils are riddled with basalt, Tokaj is instead more defined by rhyolite tuff and the influence of the Bodrog river. The fruit is sourced from the Palandor, Fehérkút, Úrágya and Danczka single vineyards. It was picked with a little more botrytis than 2017. 2018 was also a relatively ripe vintage compared to 2019 and the extra bottle aging has only made everything better. According to Peter, “a bit more power but elegant, smoky fruit, and Tokaj minerality. I like it a lot drink it every day a sip.”
