Description

The Tokaji Furmint Szent Tamas 2017, produced by the renowned Szepsy winery, is a Hungarian white wine that reflects the excellence of the Tokaj terroir. This wine is made exclusively from Furmint grapes, a native variety that imparts complexity and longevity. The 2017 harvest is notable for its balanced climate, which allowed for the exceptional maturity and aromatic intensity of the grapes.

On tasting, the Tokaji Furmint Szent Tamas 2017 showcases a lively golden color and seduces with its complex bouquet that opens up to notes of ripe white-fleshed fruit, acacia honey, and subtle mineral hints. On the palate, the wine is rich and structured, with a vibrant acidity that ensures freshness and a long, persistent finish that invites another sip.

Ideal as an aperitif, this wine pairs splendidly with flavorful fish dishes, creamy poultry, and is an excellent partner for spicy Asian cuisine. It is a specimen that demonstrates the virtuosity and uniqueness of Furmint, and the high vinicultural expression of Tokaj.
