The Tokaji Hasnos Furmint 2016 produced by the Szepsy winery is a refined and complex expression of one of Hungary's most venerable grape varieties, the Furmint. This white wine is celebrated for its extraordinary ability to balance acidic liveliness with body richness, offering a consistent and enveloping palate. The 2016 vintage managed to achieve well-balanced acidity and fresh aromas.

In the glass, it appears with a bright golden yellow color. The nose reveals intensely aromatic notes of green apple, pear, white flowers, with a touch of minerality reminiscent of the volcanic soils of the Tokaj vineyards. On the palate, the wine demonstrates an elegant structure, with surprising freshness leading to a long and savory finish that recalls notes of white-fleshed fruit and a slight hint of honey.

Perfect to serve as an aperitif, it pairs splendidly with sophisticated fish dishes, white meats, or hard cheeses. A gem for lovers of complex and structured white wines, the Tokaji Hasnos Furmint 2016 by Szepsy stands as a sublime testimony to the potential of this historic grape variety.
