Notes & Pairings
While we are still bringing in top tier Aszú and single vineyard Furmints from Bodrog Bormühely, we’ve been also been bringing in their Dry Tokaj (Furmint & Hárslevelű) project for a few years that relies on a custom crush complex allowing them a different scale of production. This is organically farmed fruit, but picked well before the vintage gets tricky and completely avoids botrytis. The winemaking is modern and straightforward - direct press and all stainless steel. Now we are happy to add the Fresh Tokaj. It’s essentially the same idea but with Sárgamuskotály (Yellow Muscat). Super high acidity, aromatic, a few grams of RS and bitterness for balance, and really fun to drink at 11%.
