The2021 Disznókő Tokaji Late Harvest Furmint is an elegant sweet wine from Tokaj, Hungary, crafted from 100% Furmint with carefully selected botrytised grapes harvested late in the season. Fermented in stainless steel and matured for around eight months in seasoned oak barrels, it balances natural sweetness with the vibrant acidity that has made Tokaj one of the world's most renowned sweet wine regions. The nose is fresh and expressive, revealing aromas of pear, greengage, pineapple and citrus with subtle honeyed notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity and a smooth, juicy texture. Flavours of ripe stone fruit, candied citrus and tropical fruit are complemented by a gentle hint of honey and a delicate mineral edge, finishing fresh and balanced rather than overly rich. Its bright acidity keeps the wine vibrant and makes it highly versatile with food.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a wonderful introduction to the classic sweet wines of Tokaj, offering freshness, balance and purity of fruit. Enjoy it lightly chilled with pâté, goat's cheese, lightly spiced Asian dishes, fruit tarts or lemon desserts. Best enjoyed now while youthful and vibrant, or cellar for the next 5–8 years as it develops additional complexity.
