Tokaj Hétszőlő
Tokaji Dry Furmint
Tokaj, Eszak-Magyarorszag, Hungary
A flinty nose, along with green apple, white flowers, some lemon zest, some honey too. This is great! The palate shows a strong acid drive, a massive grip on the sides, some green apple notes all along, a tiny honey touch, and a long, very long finish with green apple and honey and almost a tannic drying layer. If you want to taste an economic alternative to German riesling and you enjoy acid driven wines with grip and an intense nose then look no further! We had it along raclette and it's actually a great pairing, the acidity of the wine cutting through the fattiness of the melted cheese like a katana. Great stuff!

Very mineral nose with crushed rocks, gun powder, green apple and a tiny bit of a petroly touch. The palate is very dry and shows a great acid drive. Some on the mineral notes pop up too in the palate, it's a bit complicated to put words on the tastes. Maybe a bit of sour apple? It's like a chenin but even dryer and more mineral. The finish is long, fresh and precise. What a ride!

Apple and honey on the nose. Dry, but surprisingly sweet Tokaj.
