Notes & Pairings
2018 was marked with drought and extreme heat. Before the summer began, the original hope was to make a dry Sárgamuskotály from the Csontos vineyard. This proved impossible, but they only made the call once the grapes had already reached around 70 g/l of residual sugar. Instead, this got blended into late November picked Furmint and aged for 7 months in oak. Finishing around 95 g/l residual sugar, it still holds onto 12% alcohol and most importantly, while the acidity is not particularly high, it's ripe acidity which is far more important. This is a perfect foil for anyone skeptical of a sweet wine not for dessert.
