Zsirai Középhegy Tokaji Furmint 2018

Robust and well-rounded Tokaji with a smoky, pear-like flavor profile, complemented by nuanced whispers of fire and a crisp, mineral-driven finish.

A well-balanced and structured Furmint from Mad, vineyard of Középhegy. The intense terroir character is marked by saline, flint, minerality, stone, with white pear, quince, and white peach undertones on the palate. The nose is closed, with a accent of white blossom, specifically a touch of jasmine. The long aftertaste is noted for by bright acidity.

A harmonious and elegant Christmas Eve dinner awaits, with a single vineyard Furmint unveiling a consistent cohesion of freshness and minerality. The warm vintage has imparted a semi-dry character, though the 9g of residual sugar and 14% ABV provide a contenting finish. The wine's complexity is further enhanced by the strength of oranges, apricots, and a elegant floral note, all of which are expertly cohesive by a lively liveliness that leaves the mouthfeel feeling refreshed. The wine's aging potential is evident, with the addition of years ahead, making it a great recommendation for those looking to cellar a fine bottle.
