Nose
Nice fruitiness and beautiful nose.
Palate
We get the same as the nose on palate. The wine is well balanced and has some nice apple, pear and tropical fruit flavors and also an elegant acidity, minerality. The wine is already charming in its young age but can be kept in the cellar for some more years too.

Winemaking
The Furmint grape variety is the most planted grape in the Tokaj wine region. It plays a key role thanks to the fact that it is able to give elegant, mineral, dry wine as well as late harvest and Aszú. Furmint is not only famous of collecting high residual sugar content but also having nice acidity. Furmint is a perfect grape variety to express the very diverse soil of the terroir of Tokaj region. This wine comes from the Tokaj-Hétszőlő Imperial Estate which derives from the Hétszőlő Single Vineyard from 1502 when 7 parcels of land based on loess soil were assembled.
“We do believe that with organic approach we can protect the vitality of the vines and so have better quality now and in the future. In order to be able to communicate this philosophy we only use our own grapes to create the Hétszőlő wines.” (Gergely Makai, technical director)
Aging
8 months in stainless steel tanks, weekly batonnage partly and slightly barrel aged
Food Pairing
A real pleasure to drink it on its own but would work well with seafood, fish, with green, fresh salad only olive oil on it or with lighter white pasta dishes.
