DESCRIPTION
Holdvölgy Intuition n°3 SV Holdvölgy 2018 is a 100% Furmint from the estate's historic vines, aged 5 months in oak barrels. Residual sugar 7.2 g/L, total acidity 6.6 g/L, alcohol 13.5%. This gold medal-winning wine reveals the pure expression of Furmint, with vibrant freshness, a harmonious structure and a spiced finish. Founded in 2004 by Pascal Demko, the Holdvölgy estate extends over 28 hectares spread across seven grand crus of Mád, at the heart of Tokaj. Renowned for its commitment to excellence, it offers a varied range from vibrant dry wines to exceptional sweet wines, showcasing the richness of the volcanic soils. The ageing cellar dates from 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 charms with its young, fresh and dynamic style.
On the nose, a complex bouquet of tropical fruits, jasmine and honey, with subtle vanilla notes. On the palate, freshness marries with a balanced structure and subtle woody notes. The finish is long and delicately spiced. It pairs with light Thai coconut milk and prawn curry or roasted peach and vanilla mascarpone mille-feuille. Serve between 10 and 12°C. Ageing 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.
