TOKAJI FORDÍTÁS 2007 sweet

Tastes

The Fordítás ('turnaround') wine is prepared from the dough of a 6-butts aszú to which we add the fermenting must of sweet Furmint grapes. A subtle 'botrytis' flavour is typical for the scent and taste of this wine rarity. Its bright yellow colour is matched by a bouquet reminiscent of quinces next to a touch of fennel and saffron. It tastes like dried apricots with a hint of lemon, the prominent aftertaste of creamy vanilla indicating the barrel-ageing.

„A sok szem egy lélekké érik,
Bukéja pára, száll az égig,
S ereszkedik a pince-hűsbe,
Hol gyertyafény, belémerülve
Mutatja izzó tisztaságát.”
