Palate

This wine shows beautiful baked apple, pear and quince notes with hazel, walnut, ginger, toast and biscuits. It has an extremely long finish. And unlike its French cousin the famous “Vin Jaune de Jura” this wine typically has higher acidity and shows some integrated floralness.

Growing Conditions

The vintage of 2015 was an odd one. The winter had been extremely cold and gave way to a dry spring, making good budburst and flowering. However, summer came, and it was not only dry but also very hot, which ripened the grapes more quickly than normal.

Name of a vineyard: Megyer, Ciróka, Királyhegy

February 2017

Winemaking

The grapes came in earlier than usual, but thanks to the rains in September, the grape clusters were able to ripen a little, so we decided to make a dry Samorodni, which this year provided the perfect base for.
This wine went under a specific production method when the wine is kept in an old oak barrel under a solid layer of floating yeast “flor”.

This is a real Tokaj rarity and speciality. The production of this wine requires a special process.

Aging

14 months in oak barrels
