Singular, slick, precise.
Made from Furmint (known primarily for producing the historical sweet Tokaji dessert wines from northeast Hungary), blended with a splash of portion of Muskotaly grapes, this dry (szaraz) table wine comes from the Dereszla Winery, home to one of the oldest cellars in the Tokaj region.
It's amazing value and a singular bottle; the 2021 is mineral-driven--think crushed stone and mountain stream along with burnt honey and bold lemony notes. It has a similar palate--tangy and mineral focused with precision and snap. It's bone dry with some phenolic texture in the mouth; the finish is lemony.
