Füleky Tokaji Mestervölgy Furmint 2018 - Single Vineyard

The elegance of the nose carries through into the mouth where the refined acids are perfectly ripe yet still bursting with life. Exceptional proportions with finesse and minerality defining the wine. Although it has residual sugar, the acidity keeps it wonderfully dry, full-bodied, deep. Wood is fully integrated, barrel notes, hint of vanilla, like Grandma’s biscuits. Typical barrel-aged Furmint nose. Beautiful long finish with vanilla.

Exceptional proportions with finesse and minerality defining the wine. A beautiful trace of a vintage in which this superbly structured, complex wine was created from wonderfully ripe grapes. We recommend serving at 8-10 °C.

Food-wine pairing:

• mature semi-hard/hard cheeses (Comté, pecorino, ricotta salad, Appenzeller, Bergkäse), Camembert, mature Brie or Reblochon
• a real pasta Bolognese with sugo tradizionale
• pasta Alfredo, pasta al tonno e pomodorini
• grilled fattier meats, like pork neck, pork belly with crispy skin
• pork/calf liver en persillade, fried tripe (tablier de sapeur)
