Notes & Pairings
The Lapis is already a place we know and adore from working with a different parcel from Bodrog Borműhely, but Demeter’s 45 year old vines are higher up away from the Bodrog River. With little to no botrytis and aged in acacia and oak barrels, this is direct pressed and laser focused Hárslevelű with a little RS that adds a creamy but not heavy balance. Now with some added bottle age, this is an extremely elegant vintage from one of the pioneers of dry Tokaj.
