Royal Tokaji Dry Furmint 13% 75cl

The sweet style of Tokaji is a famous centuries-old wine from Hungary’s Tokaj-Hegyalja region. Today, the region’s reputation for dry wines is flourishing. Made from 100% Furmint, the region’s signature grape and a great alternative to crisp, dry wines like Chablis and Loire Sauvignon Blanc.

Royal Tokaji Dry Furmint is a fresh, crisp wine showing all the fine qualities of the unique Furmint grape. Aromas of grape flowers, apple and pear combine with flavours of ripe apricot and peach to produce a sleek, intense dry wine with a signature volcanic mineral structure. The refreshing acidity will stand up to a rich dish like pork belly with a honey glaze.

Whole bunches were pressed and then fermented partly in stainless steel with select Vineyard Selections or Special Reserves vinified in the traditional way and aged in Hungarian oak barrels (15% new oak). After fermentation both lots remained in their vessels on fine lees for further maturation to add subtle overtones and complexity.
