Description
Most people know Tokaj for its sweet wines, but the region's dry whites offer something different and well worth discovering. If you enjoy Chablis, Albariño or dry Riesling, this Furmint is likely to appeal. It is textured and full-flavoured, making it an excellent food wine.
Sárga Borház is made by the Disznókő estate, a Tokaj estate rated First Growth in 1732. The name means "Yellow Wine House", after the yellow restaurant that greets visitors at the entrance to the estate.
Furmint is Tokaj's signature grape, grown on volcanic soils that give the wine its distinctive mineral edge. The grapes are picked before noble rot can set in, then fermented in stainless steel with no oak, keeping the focus on fresh fruit and a lively finish.
Serve it chilled as an aperitif, or with prawns, grilled fish, roast chicken or creamy pasta. It is best enjoyed young.
Tasting Note
Citrus & stone fruit notes, with a hint of peach & greengage, good texture & roundness, the finish is fresh & lingering.
