Terroir Selection Szarvas Furmint, 2021

Situated on the southernmost slope of Tokaj hill, Szarvas is a sunny, steep hillside that overlooks the Great Plain and boasts an exceptional terroir, with a black dacite bedrock covered by loess. The grapes were hand harvested and selected. After gentle pressing the wine was fer­mented and aged in barrels. The acidity is unexpectedly steely coming from a loamy soil, however coupled with the almost 7 grams of resid­ual sugar it makes for an elegant and balanced wine. The intense nose offers wildflowers, a touch of acacia and pear. The palate is strong on fruit: peach, fresh pear, juicy summer apple. A long finish, with styl­ish oak and roasted aromas complementing the rich fruit.
