István Balassa Tokaji Furmint Tokaji 2021

$45.00

 

Kpo says: Spectacular dry Tokaj! Great pairing with fish or oysters!

A blend of different individual layers (Hangács/Dorgó/Betsek/Kakaks/Szent Tamás) for more complexity. Only 4800 bottles were produced. A typical furmint, which means that it has a very good acidity, which holds the wine together. Nice body, with lots of power, lots of freshness and good balance.

The furmint from Balassa shows aromas of quince, pear and white flowers and floral notes. Nice minerality.

““Wow!” was my one-word tasting note when I initially sipped this remarkable dry Furmint from Hungary. The Tokaji region is best known for its delicious sweet wines, but that’s changing thanks to producers like Balassa Bor. Intense, stony and lightly wooded, this jauntily named white has citrus, fresh dough and aniseed flavours, wonderful purity and focus and racy, palate-cleansing acidity.”

Producer

Small-scale is really the watchword for István Balassa, Hungarian winemaker who, since the beginning of the 21st century, has been producing personal wines with a large portion of origin. From István’s cellar comes both dry white wines from the furmint and hárslevelü grapes and of course also sweet wine, something of Hungary’s specialty from concentrated fruit that has been attacked by noble rot. A fine example of sweet wine comes here, on grapes from as many as six vineyards with different terroirs.
