Chateau Megyer Tokaji Furmint 2013
HungaryLocated in Tokaji-Hegyalja in northeastern Hungary, the Megyer estate was classified as “First Growth” in 1772 by Royal decree. Furmint, so often associated with the legendary long-lived Tokaji dessert wines, is capable of making complex, bone dry, phenolic, mineral-laden and herbal dry white wines, which is certainly the case here. Hay, salted lemon, green fig, pear skin, green apple blossom, wild herbs, broken stone fill the medium bodied frame. Eight months in stainless steel preserve the freshness, while a thin cushion of oil slicked lees provides grounding. A striking intro to dry furmint and a brilliant value too.Tasted: 01 April 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $23.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
