BALASSA Tokaji Furmint “Szent Tamás” 2022
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.

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

Balassa Winery, Tokaj
The boutique Balassa winery was established in 2005 by Istvan Balassa in the historic Tokaj wine region. Right from the beginning, Istvan, a perfectionist, was determined to produce only the highest-quality wines possible by maximising the potential of each vintage. It all starts in his vineyards with growing grapes of outstanding quality by applying a rigorous scientific approach to cultivation. He then creates each wine using artisanal wine-making methods, allowing the unique characteristics of the grape, the vineyard and the terroir to shine through in every drop.
