Fülöp Dry Tokaji

Light straw yellow in colour. Averagely intense nose shows the intensive and complex nature of Tokaji fresh dry wines. Citrus, crunchy green apple and beautiful floral notes in the nose. Dry to taste, lively fruits with beautiful tense acids. Medium intense sip with refreshing finish that invites you to the next taste. Outstanding blend of Furmint-Hárslevelű-Sárgamuskotály in which the varieties support each other. A superbly fresh wine from a hot vintage that will retain its dynamism for a long time.

Fülöp the Stork was born in Spain in the Ebro river valley in 2003. We do not know if he ever left Europe, but it is certain that he had been living in and around Bodrogkeresztúr since 2006. He brought up 34 fledglings; his partner always migrated, but he stayed. In winter he warmed himself on chimneys, drank water from the River Bodrog, hunted for voles and was lord of all the stork nests in the area.

We bottled this fresh and crisp Tokaji in memory of our phenomenal stork who was the stork of the neighbourhood and everyone for 15 years.

From the income, we are supporting maintenance of stork nests in and near Bodrogkeresztúr, creation of stork nest stands and electric insulation to protect birds.

Food-wine pairing:

• almost like a Swiss army knife, you can eat everything with it:
• cold starters, even fattier ones too
• pâtés, hams and lard
• slightly matured semi-hard cheeses
• stuffed pastas
• Caribbean style spicy cuisine
• paprika fish stew
• or simply a good pork neck fried in panko (tonkatsu style but with fattier cut of pork)
