Drinking wine is what we do. Cheers!

Royal Tokaji Furmint 2007



Really powerful wine with high extract; not for wimps. Light, straw color and a delicate bouquet with ripe peach and fresh wood are just a mask for the 14,5% of alcohol (have a feeling, that if we would have some digestive after all, the katzenjammer would be guaranteed). In mouth lively, rich, almost tannic. It’s made of the same grapes, that are usually used for sweet Tokay, so this athletic structure is covered with a honey like coat. We drank it with grilled trout and it was ok, but I think, would be even better with some goat cheese.
13,5$ per bottle.

    Dry Extract

    A technical wine tasting term. If you place wine in a centrifuge and remove all of the water, the powder that is left will be the dry extract. The amount of flavor that a wine has can be directly attributed to the dry extract. The body of the wine is also a function of dry extract.
