GRÓF DEGENFELD Organic Tokaji Brut Sparkling Wine 2019
Tokaji sparkling wine from the elegant furmint grape, this organic Extra Brut vintage is a fascinating choice for wine lovers 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 choice.
Tokaji Sparkling Wine
Sparkling wine is a relatively recent but popular addition to Tokaj's range of dry and speciality sweet wines. Using the native Furmint grape, renowned for its vibrant acidic backbone, the region is ideally suited for producing fizz that is a chic alternative to Prosecco.
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 or oysters.
