Notes & Pairings
Planted in the 1960s in red clay flush with volcanic rhyolite and zeolite, the 2021 was hand harvested, directly pressed into Hungarian oak barrels and followed by 9 months on the lees. We’ve been tasting this site from Samuel since the 2012 vintage was unveiled at the first ever Great Tokaj Auction. Not lacking in acidity with a kiss of residual sugar that is absolutely needed, this also has structure, skin tannins and richness wrapped in a refreshing package.
