Description
In a nutshell:
An elegant and surprisingly complex Hungarian dry white.
The lowdown:
Made from 100% Furmint, one of Hungary's trademark grape varieties, on south facing slopes this is fermented carefully in stainless steel tanks with natural Tokaji yeast. This result is a delightful wine which is pale green in colour and has a fresh grapefruit nose with additional notes of pear and lime which follow through on the palate. Dry and beautifully crisp there's an elegant minerality which keeps the wine in good balance all the way through and finishing with a refreshing crisp edge.
The Producer:
The Kardos family have owned vineyards in the Tokaj region for centuries, but it was only in the 1990's, with the end of Soviet domination, that they were to build a winery and go about building a reputation for themselves. Their vines sit in and around the crazy sounding village of Mád - long seen as Tokaj's most prestigious area. At first, they were a bit of a boutique operation, but when Gábor Kardos Jnr came onboard in 2008 things were put on a more serious footing. And more importantly, quality of output became the focus of things. They produce both the famous dessert wines of the area and delicious dry wines. Everything is made to meticulous standards and theyre an outfit to take note of.
When to drink:
It's difficult to go wrong with this really versatile white. It's great by itself or pair with seafood and poultry dishes.
