BALASSA Tokaji Furmint “Szent Tamás” 2019

£37.50

Balassa Winery's Tokaji furmint from the Grand Cru Szent Tamás vineyard blends an elegant minerality with dynamic fruit aromas for an exceptional vintage.

Intense aromas of citrus fruits, wet stone and peach explode in the glass, followed by a juicy palate with refined acidity and considerable oak in the background. Creamy, smooth and perfectly round, this is a well-balanced vintage for true wine lovers and connoisseurs.


Food Pairing

It is the perfect drink accompaniment to seafood and pasta dishes. Goes very well with a soft cheese or a traditional Parenica.

Serving temperature: 12-14°C


Expert Opinion

International Wine & Spirits Competition Judges - 95 points - IWSC 2021

A complete wine that balances medium-dry ripe tropical fruits: apple, pears and lemon create a lovely minerality and a vibrant acidity. Beautifully textured with some honeyed, nutty and minty herbal notes adding to the complex, long finish.
