Kpo says: Zippy, mineral and seriously refreshing — this is Tokaj showing off without the sugar! |
Grapes: Furmint
A pure and vibrant expression of Tokaj’s signature grape, made from 100% Furmint sourced from several of Sauska’s estate vineyards, including Birsalmás, Istenhegy, Holdvölgy, Padihegy and Medve.
The grapes are hand harvested, pre-chilled and whole-bunch pressed before fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then spends six months on its lees, with no oak ageing, preserving Furmint’s natural freshness and the distinctive mineral character of Tokaj.
Crisp and precise, with ripe pear, white peach and candied lemon peel, complemented by subtle floral and leesy notes. The palate is dry and energetic, combining vibrant acidity with a gently textured mouthfeel and a characteristic flinty, mineral edge.
A refreshing yet characterful introduction to modern dry Tokaji Furmint.

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.
