`Úrágya` Tokaji Furmint Dobogó 2019

Tokaj is a region bordered by the rivers Bodrog and Tisza in the north-eastern corner of Hungary, 120 miles from Budapest. It consists of 28 villages spread over the Tokaj hills at approximately 220 metres above sea level. Founded in 1869, the Dobogó estate is in the centre of Tokaj and today belongs to Izabella Zwack, the youngest member of the Zwack family (the producers of Hungary’s famous liqueur, Unicum).

Pale gold in colour, this dry Furmint truly reveals the superb potential of this grape. The nose opens with a lustrous bouquet of nectarine, ripe peach and dried pineapple. There are aromas of elusive spices, vanilla and floral notes. The palate is medium bodied with a delicate texture and notable flavours of pear.

Classic pairings are pates and blue cheeses.
