The 2022 Disznókő Tokaji Late Harvest Furmint is an elegant Hungarian sweet wine showing ripe apricot, peach and pear alongside honey, orange peel, quince and delicate floral notes. Made from late-harvested Furmint grapes, the wine combines concentrated fruit and gentle sweetness with the bright natural acidity that makes Tokaji wines so refreshing. Fine mineral notes from the volcanic soils add depth and balance to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully textured, with lively acidity supporting layers of ripe stone fruit, citrus and orchard fruit. Apricot and peach are complemented by pear, quince and candied orange peel, while subtle honeyed and floral notes add richness. A fine mineral and saline character provides tension through the mid-palate, keeping the sweetness balanced and mouth-watering rather than heavy. The finish is clean, persistent and refreshing, with lingering apricot, citrus, honey and mineral notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for drinkers looking for an approachable Tokaji sweet wine with freshness, fruit purity and balanced sweetness. It is enjoyable young but has enough acidity to develop additional honeyed and dried-fruit complexity over the next several years. Best enjoyed over the next 5–10 years. Serve well chilled with foie gras, blue cheese, roast duck with apricot, pork with apple and spice, almond and peach tart, or lightly sweet citrus desserts.
