TOKAJI FORTISSIMO Late Harvest 2007

2008, sweet, Cuvée

Method of production

In 2006 we once again produced a blended wine, which we have named Fortissimo. Remaining true to the original conception, we married the outstanding Tokaj grapes (Furmint, Hárslevelű and Muscat Lunel) and let the result mature up to 70% in wooden barrels.

Tastes

The characteristic liveliness is due to barrel maturation, the proportions of the grape types and, naturally, the qualities inherent in the vintage. A lighter wine, Fortissimo opens with the spiced corn typical of Hárslevelű before the aromatic Muscat Lunel makes its slow but sure way to the fore.

Recommended with

It is a lively, easy-to-drink wine with delicate acids and a long finish, ideal as an aperitif or to accompany desserts.

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