Notes & Pairings
The 2019 will exhibit some major vintage variation from the last drop. Due to the remarkable balancing act between acidity and residual sugar that’s typical of the Apátsági wines, that pendulum can swing both ways and still work. Whereas last time we needed 10 g/l residual sugar, this time we need about half of that despite having more or less the same acidity. The alcohol certainly reflects this in a technical way, but the 14.5% is nowhere to be found on the palate. Like all Somlói wines, it needs more bottle age than we can afford to give it, but the upside is that it pours by the glass in a way that each day it gets better and better.
