ERZSÉBET pince Betsek Tokaj Dry 2019

The "Betsek", this historical grand cru, classified by Matyás Bél still in the early 1700s, is covered with clay soil, full of rhyolite tuff debris: this vineyard gives every year a rich, concentrated wine, full of tropical fruits.

A blend of two indigenous Hungarian grapes : mostly furmint, and the remaining 20% is kabar, a variety almost unknown out of Tokaj.

Fermentation in barrels, aging in old Hungarian oak barrels for 8 months. Elegant nose, on the fruits: white peach, tropical fruits, linden honey, spices. Concentrated and smooth on the palate, with great vivacity. Long finish on spices, considerable aromatic complexity. Very drinkable, but you can keep it 8 years on.
