TOKAJICUM Tokaji Dry Szamorodni 2020

This Tokaji Dry Szamorodni is an intriguing and exciting wine, made in a unique style that was once popular throughout Tokaj, however it is now a rarity.

Once opened, the aromas are reminiscent of Fino or Barbadillo Sherry, as the oxidative nutty flavours are a delightful accent to a rich honey note. The botrytised berries offer complexity, with ripe dried fruit flavours rounded out by touches of oak and vanilla from the barrel ageing.

Food Pairing

Goes very well with minestrone soup, Spanish garlic prawns, cured ham or tomato insalata.
