In the heart of Hungary’s famed Tokaj region, a wine that encapsulates the essence of its 60-year-old vineyard has emerged.
Szóló – Föld (Earth) 2020 is a testament to the time-honoured traditions of winemaking, nurtured by the volcanic soil that imparts a unique character to its natural white wine blend of Furmint and Hársleveluű.
Upon the first pour, the wine releases citrusy aromas of lemon zest and blood orange, inviting to take a closer look.
The bouquet is enriched by the subtle presence of linden blossom and green apples. The palate is greeted with a harmonious blend of pome fruits (apple, pear, and quince), followed by exotic notes of passion fruit.
A hint of anise adds a layer of complexity, while the vibrant acidity ensures a refreshing and lingering finish.
The whole-bunch fermentation and aging for 10 months in amphora are not merely processes but rituals that infuse the Föld with its soul and strike a delicate balance between potency and elegance.
This wine is not just consumed; it is experienced.
