GRÓF DEGENFELD Organic Tokaji Furmint Extra Brut 2019

A Tokaji sparkling wine, this Organic Extra Brut from the elegant Furmint grape is a fascinating vintage for lovers of sparkling and champagne connoisseurs.

Grapefruit and citrus aromas in the nose, with a distinct mineral touch indicative of the volcanic Tokaj terroir. Notes of bread and yeast from the autolysis round out the fruity palate, culminating in a refreshing green apple finish. Well-balanced, subtle acidity and refined small bubbles make this a stylish and highly drinkable sparkling wine.

Food Pairing

A great accompaniment to poultry, seafood and risottos. It also goes very well with washed-rind cheeses such as Appenzeller and Limburger, or serve it as an aperitif with some charcuterie canapes.

Meet the Winemaker

Gróf Degenfeld Winery, Tokaj - Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)

In 1994 the Count Degenfeld family successfully revived its wine estate in the heart of the Tokaj wine region, ensuring that over 150-year-old tradition lives on with the latest generation. Winemaking was closely intertwined with the family’s deep love and respect for nature; therefore, they have cultivated their vineyards organically since 2009. The family only work with native grapes best suited to the unique micro-climate, creating a range of single varietal wines with award-winning credentials. The bunches are hand-harvested and carefully vinified with minimal intervention. As a result, you are tasting an authentic drop of the volcanic Tokaj terroir with every sip you take.
