Tokaji Furmint Demi-Sec 2022

Wine Description for Tokaji Furmint Demi-Sec 2022 by Királyudvar

Colour & Appearance

Pale yellow with distinct green reflections – a visual promise of freshness and vibrancy in the glass.

Nose

A fascinating aromatic spectrum unfolds: pear, apple and quince compote form the fruit-driven base, whilst pale flowers, anise, candied ginger and honey suggest a seductive sweetness. Particularly noteworthy are the earthy nuances of pine and tree bark as well as a saline minerality that lends the wine exceptional depth and complexity. An aromatic profile that sparks curiosity and invites discovery.

Palate

On the palate, the true class of this demi-sec reveals itself: the sweet-saline character is perfectly balanced, supported by a fine acidity that provides structure without dominating. A finely bitter note reminiscent of grapefruit and bitter orange prevents any heaviness. The power and multi-layered nature make this Furmint far more than a simple off-dry white wine – here speaks a wine with personality.

Finish

Persistent and mineral with a lingering note of citrus peel and saline notes that refreshes the palate and calls for the next sip.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A blend of Furmint and Hárslevelű, cultivated 100% biodynamically. Spontaneous fermentation in Slavonian oak and 18 months of ageing lend the wine its impressive texture and complexity without overwhelming the fruitiness.

Food Pairing Recommendations

An excellent companion to roasted poultry, pork with fruity sauces, Asian dishes with sweet-sour notes, mature cheese or Foie Gras. The sweet-saline balance also makes it an ideal partner for seafood with exotic spices.

Special Features

Királyudvar is among the pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in Tokaj. This demi-sec impressively demonstrates that the region is capable of far more than just sweet wines. With its excellent ageing potential, this wine will continue to gain complexity in the years to come.
