On the nose, elegant aromas of white tea and passion fruit, enriched by a touch of minerality. On the palate, fresh and saline, perfectly balanced by a silky texture and a long, vibrant finish. It pairs perfectly with a sea bream tartare with citrus and fresh herb oil or a green asparagus and sheep's milk cheese risotto. Serve at 10°C. Cellaring potential of 10 years.
REGION
Tokaj
Hungary
Tokaj, a wine region listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, lies two and a half hours from Budapest in northeast Hungary. This land brings together precious elements for growing grapes: a microclimate, volcanic soil and a little known fungus, botrytis, or noble rot. It turns overripe grapes into shrivelled berries and is key to making the sweet wines of the region, called aszú. With their concentrated aromas and sugars, these are the flagship of Tokaj. The region also adds dry Furmint and Tokaji Eszencia to its list of white wines.
