DESCRIPTION
Holdvölgy Expression SV Becsek 2018 is a 100% Hárslevelű from the historic Becsek Cru, classified as a 1er Cru, located in Mád and surrounded by volcanic cones. Directly pressed, fermented, and then aged for 5 months in Seguin Moreau French oak barrels. Residual sugar 6.7 g/L, total acidity 6.4 g/L, alcohol 14%. The 2018 vintage, despite early frosts, allowed for a dry harvest as early as September, yielding a concentrated, precise, and bright wine. Founded in 2004 by Pascal Demko, the Holdvölgy estate spans 28 hectares spread across seven crus of Mád, in the heart of Tokaj. Renowned for its commitment to excellence, it offers a diverse range extending from vibrant dry wines to exceptional sweet wines, highlighting the richness of volcanic soils. The aging cellar dates back to the 14th century and is one of the longest in the region. The estate also offers a modern and accessible range, 'Hold and Hollo', which captivates with its young, fresh, and dynamic style.
On the nose, notes of jasmine, chamomile, fresh thyme, and pear, supported by a subtle spicy touch from the oak aging. On the palate, lively and elegant, carried by crisp pear, with a fresh, mineral, and precise finish boasting beautiful tension. It pairs perfectly with roasted pike-perch with lemon beurre blanc and braised fennel or herb-roasted free-range poultry. Serve between 10 and 12°C. Cellaring potential of 10 years.
RéGION
Tokaj
Hongrie
Tokaj, une région viticole classée au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, se trouve à 2h30 de Budapest, au nord-est de la Hongrie. Cette terre réunit en son sein des éléments précieux à la culture du raisin. Un microclimat, un sol volcanique, et la présence d’un champignon peu connu, le botrytis : la pourriture noble. Ce dernier transforme les raisins trop mûrs en baies flétries et participe à la vinification des vins moelleux de la région, appelés aszú. Ces derniers, avec leurs arômes et sucres concentrés, sont le produit phare du Tokaj. La région ajoute à son palmarès de vins blancs le Furmint sec ou le Tokaji Eszencia.
