Notes & Pairings
This vintage almost smells like a super healthy ferment from barrel only it’s completely put together and has 4 years of age on it. It’s immediately Tokaj in terms of ripe acidity, but not followed by any heat, bitterness, or any perceivable residual sugar (although it absolutely needs and has some for balance). Fermented in 500L Hungarian oak, it then spends 4 months on the lees and is only racked by gravity. Ready to drink now, we can’t wait to see where this goes in 3-5 more years in bottle. The honey, smoke and salt derived from the terraced Öreg Király Dűlő are just their infancy.
