2021 Szolo 'Tuz' Tokaj, Hungary

$36.00

Certified Organic and practicing biodynamic. 100% Furmint from a 40 year-old single vineyard called ‘Bohomál,’ in the subregion of Tállya with powerful expressions of volcanic soil (in this case, particularly rhylotic tuff and andesite). A skin-contact version of Furmint, with the maceration divided into halves; one half of the fruit remained on the skins for 14 days, the other for a full 30 days. Both parts were then aged for two years in used oak barrels. The wine was bottled without clarification, filtration, or any added SO2. Winemaker Tímea Éless classifies all of her single-vineyard bottlings with an elemental name that corresponds to varying soil types or vineyard hallmarks; in this case, “Tűz” translates to ‘fire.’
