Product Notes

Sauska Furmint Tokaj wine is an exquisite Hungarian offering, renowned for its complex flavour profile. Sourced from the prestigious Tokaj region, celebrated for its volcanic soils, this wine is made from Furmint, a local grape variety. It radiates a unique blend of light, fruity flavours infused with minerality, accompanied by a refreshing acidity. A charming hint of smoky oak, derived from barrel ageing, adds depth to its light body. This extraordinary wine, with its beautiful golden hue and dry palate, pairs well with a variety of dishes, making it a worthy addition to any wine enthusiast's collection.
