Royal Tokaji Wine Co, Tokaj Furmint Dry, 2020
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Royal Tokaji helped revive Hungary’s legendary Tokaj region, best known for its sweet Aszú wines, but their Dry Furmint proves that the grape’s potential goes far beyond dessert styles. Sourced from volcanic soils, this 2020 vintage highlights the precision and intensity that make Furmint one of Europe’s most underrated white grapes.
Bright lemon, green apple, and white peach lead, underpinned by a flinty, smoky minerality that speaks to its volcanic terroir. The palate is crisp and structured, with racy acidity keeping everything lifted and fresh. There’s a quiet depth to the wine, with a waxy, almost Chablis-like texture developing as it opens. Compared to more opulent expressions, this leans into elegance and purity, making it a perfect introduction to dry Tokaji.
A natural match for fresh seafood, roasted poultry, or creamy risottos, this Furmint is versatile and built for food. Enjoy now for its youthful vibrancy, or let it evolve over the next few years to reveal even greater complexity.
