GRÓF DEGENFELD Organic Tokaji Brut Sparkling Wine 2019

A Tokaji sparkling wine from the elegant furmint grape, this organic Extra Brut vintage is a fascinating choice for wine lovers and champagne connoisseurs.

It offers grapefruit and citrus aromas on the nose, complemented by a distinct mineral note that reflects the volcanic Tokaj terroir. The palate features hints of bread and yeast from the autolysis, leading to a refreshing green apple finish. With its well-balanced structure, subtle acidity, and refined small bubbles, this sparkling wine is a stylish and highly drinkable option.

Tokaji Sparkling Wine

Sparkling wine is a relatively recent but popular addition to Tokaj's range of dry and speciality sweet wines. The native Furmint grape, known for its vibrant acidic backbone, makes the region ideally suited for producing sparkling wines that serve as a chic alternative to Prosecco.

Food Pairing

This sparkling wine pairs wonderfully with poultry, seafood, and risottos. It also complements washed-rind cheeses such as Appenzeller and Limburger. Serve it as an aperitif alongside charcuterie canapés or oysters for an exquisite dining experience.
