Royal Tokaji Szt. Tamás Furmint Magnum, 2022

Szt. Tamás is a celebrated First Growth vineyard sloping southwest and overlooking the Royal Tokaji winery in Mád. The soil is rich, red clay interspersed with indigo and purple volcanic rocks on and below the surface. The reddish clay and volcanic soil gives the wine wonderful minerality and freshness. Maturation in Hungarian oak adds complexity and structure. he grapes for this wine were picked from the cooler, eastern side of Szt.Tamás vineyard at the end of September.

The Szt. Tamás Furmint is a powerful wine, typically well-structured and concentrated, with elegance, grace, and a firm backbone. Crisp acidity balances the ripe fruit and the barrel maturation adds discreet spice notes. Long and intense, the wine accurately reflects its unique climate and soil.
