Notes & Pairings
Stéphanie and Zsolt farm a variety of small parcels like Lónyai, Farkas, Lestas, and Kassai. All of which can at one time or another find their way into an estate blend, sweet or sparkling wine. There’s one single vineyard, Váti, that is never blended and always stands alone. Co-planted to both Furmint and Hárselelũ, the 2022 is 70% Furmint 30% Hárslevelű, but from a drought year where extract and concentration was high. Fermented in oak and then aged in 6 months, the hyper selection only yielded 1010 bottles. According to Stéphanie, this is “A relax wine for me.” Drinking great now, this will really fatten up over the next 3-5 years. We still have a few cases of 2018 we are holding back for that exact reason. This is a persistently intense iteration of dry Tokaj.
