Product Notes

Sauska Furmint Tokaj is a white wine made from the Furmint grape variety, grown in the historic Tokaj region of Hungary. The wine is straw-colored and has a complex aroma of tropical fruits, honey, and white flowers, with hints of oak aging. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with a good balance of acidity and minerality, and a long, refreshing finish. This wine is best served chilled and pairs well with seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes. Sauska Furmint Tokaj is a premium wine that represents the Tokaj region's reputation for producing some of the world's finest white wines.

Tasting Notes

A beautifully aromatic expression of Furmint, packed with flavours of ripe figs, mango, kiwi, lemon zest and green tea. Crisp, clean, perfectly balanced - the very definition of Tokaj Furmint.
