Birtok

2013 Tokaj Furmint

The Samuel Tinon Birtok is a captivating white wine made from the Furmint varietal, hailing from the illustrious Tokaj region in Hungary. This 2013 vintage boasts a medium-bodied profile that gracefully balances its lively acidity, making it truly refreshing on the palate. The wine presents a prominent fruit intensity, showcasing flavors of ripe stone fruits complemented by subtle herbal notes, creating a harmonious and inviting experience. With a slightly off-dry character, this expression of Furmint provides a delightful sweetness that rounds out the wine without overpowering its crisp essence. Its approachability and complexity make it a fantastic choice for a variety of occasions, whether sipped solo or paired with food.

Home to the lusciously sweet and long-aging Tokaji Aszú dessert wine, the Tokaj region is becoming equally well known today for its high-quality dry whites. Located in northeastern Hungary, hilly Tokaj has a warm climate with volcanic-clay soils, and sits at the confluence of two rivers. While the soils of Tokaj allow winemakers to craft mineral-rich dry whites from the Furmint grape, with its two rivers and long, balmy autumns, Tokaj vineyards also have the ability to develop botrytis, or "noble rot." This unique fungus is the key to great sweet wines, as it concentrates sugars and brings about a sublime honeyed character.
