2013 Hungary

Of all the single vineyard sites, Szt. Tamás's is also one of the more voluptuous expressions. Deep gold in colour, the nose is concentrated and complex with notes of orange peel, honeycomb, ripe apricot and spice. The palate is intense, rich and unctuous with a good depth of flavour. Sweet, caramelised apricot and nectarines dominate, with a hint of citrus peel and white flowers providing vitality and freshness. Great balance and structure, very long, elegant and moreish!

The Nyulászó (English translation “to catch hares”) Vineyard has always been a big part the house style of Royal Tokaji. It’s a 18 hectares vineyard just east of Mad, Hungary. It’s red volcanic top soil produces very elegant, lively wines. 2 ½ years barrel maturation in 300 litre second and third year Hungarian oak barrels. An elegant wine with great mid palate density. Apricot and honey burst out in the wine with beautiful acidity balancing the richness. Made from predominately Furmint grapes with the remaining made up of Harslevelu. This wine is beautiful now but will improve with further ageing.
