Mouth: Round balance and harmony. A mix of plum and apricot jam that fits well with its general fruity nature. Grand Tokaj is a full-bodied wine with great complexity and length due to its high acid and sugar content. The flavor fills the mouth with a long lasting, fresh taste
Soil: The wine region is characterized by a continental climate, a volcanic rock base (of andesite, rhyolite, and tuffs thereof), and black soil formed upon it
Vinification: The base is made from 100% Furmint. After the first fermentation, aszú berries were added to the fermented dry wine and left to soak. The first fermentation takes a minimum 6 months. Barrel ageing takes place in the traditional centuries old Szegi cellar, where the temperature stays at 10-12° C, and the humidity is very high (more than 80%). The barrels are made of aged Hungarian oak from Zemplén hill and middle toasted. The ageing time is a minimum 18 months.
