2019 Royal Tokaji Dry Furmint, Tokaji, Hungary
There are 2 units left in stock.
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Royal Tokaji’s Dry Furmint is the definitive regional expression of this grape variety. Fruit is sourced from estate and negociant vineyards. The region, with its 400-plus extinct volcanos, is depicted on the label. This volcanic soil and hilly topography are critical to the expression of Furmint in this wine.
2019 was an excellent vintage for dry wines as it was warm early and provided ripe and full-flavored Fermint grapes with balancing acidity.
This wine is delicious as an aperitif, ideal with oysters, seafood and white meats, but partners equally well with spicy dishes and fried foods. Versatile is the word!
