Tasting Notes
Bright and fresh on the nose, with ripe pear, green apple and citrus peel alongside subtle mineral notes. The palate is crisp, dry and linear, showing juicy Williams pear and candied lemon peel, framed by vibrant Furmint acidity. Six months on the lees adds a gentle texture, while a flinty, subtly saline mineral character carries through the long, refreshing 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.
