Alcohol Volume: 10.5%
Botrytized natural sweet wine with clear, medium gold colour; strong and thick legs with tender motion in the glass. Notes of blooming fruit tree flowers, a hint of mint and chamomile appears at first on the nose, followed by a full range of fruit notes showing its complexity. Silkly rich mouthfeel with stone fruit, mainly apricot and sundried fruit notes, together with ripe, sweet citrus flavours and definite presence of minerality and oak. The blend gets its full body from the furmint, refinement from the hárslevelű and finesse from the yellow muscat.
