Disznoko Tokaji Dry Furmint 2022
Disznoko Tokaji Dry Furmint 2022
Disznoko Dulo, a vineyard in southern Tokaji, was first recorded in 1413 as a superior site for grape growing. Three centuries later all of Tokaji was officially classified, and most of what is today Disznoko’s vineyard was classified as first growth. After the fall of the communist regime, this was one of the first estates to be revived with an influx of French capital. In an effort to reacquaint themselves with their terroir, Disznoko started making dry Tokaji, a wine that gets to the market much faster than the sweet wine Tokaji was historically known for. Thus, as a means to an end, a radical new style of wine was born. Dry Tokaji ripens with an outrageous amount of acid and voluminous complexity. Even this entry tier wine gives us pause with everything that’s going on inside. The nose shows green apple, white peach, lemon zest, gooseberry, chamomile and lavender, all powerfully expressed. The palate is surprisingly full bodied with lemon curd, apple, white cherry, and honeycomb notes all dancing to the tune of searing bright acidity. The finish lingers with touches of kiwi and smoky soil. This wine is an incredible value from a region finding its grand cru roots.
