Tasting Notes
Lusciously aromatic, with apricot, orange blossom, white nougat and marzipan, lifted by hints of fresh ginger. The palate is rich and silky, revealing orange marmalade, candied citrus, almond and honeyed fruit. Despite its generous sweetness, vibrant Tokaji acidity and fine minerality bring remarkable freshness and balance, leading to an exceptionally long, elegant finish.

Producer
Founded by Christian and Andrea Sauska, Sauska is one of the leading names of modern Hungarian wine, with estates in two of the country’s great wine regions: Tokaj in the northeast and Villány in the south.
From the beginning, Sauska has combined respect for Hungarian terroir with a modern, innovative and international outlook. In Tokaj, the family produces dry Furmint, traditional Tokaji Aszú and pioneering traditional-method sparkling wines, while Villány focuses on polished reds from Cabernet Franc, Kékfrankos and Bordeaux varieties.
Innovation is central to the Sauska philosophy. The family has worked with renowned international specialists including soil experts Claude and Lydia Bourguignon, Italian oenologist Stefano Chioccioli and legendary Champagne cellar master Régis Camus.
Today, Sauska represents a contemporary face of Hungarian wine: precise, ambitious and internationally minded, while firmly rooted in the distinctive terroirs of Tokaj and Villány.
