Tasting Notes
Full bodied and rich with plenty of fresh stone fruit, white peach and hints of blossom. Long finish with ageing potential. On the nose pear, quince, typical furmint. The palate is very concentrated. The terroir gives a very expressive minerality. Elegant, a real individuality from the Kozephegy vineyard in Mad, the heart of the Tokaji wine region.
