Dobogó Úrágya
A rich White wine with smoky vanilla, pear, and nectarine notes, perfect with poultry
Dobogó `Úrágya` Tokaji Furmint from Tokaj, Hungary, is a superb dry White wine (still) crafted from 100% Furmint grapes. This richly textured wine, aged for 10-12 months in Hungarian oak, reveals alluring smoky mineral and vanilla notes, complemented by aromas of nectarine, ripe peach, and dried pineapple. The palate is medium-bodied with delicate pear flavours and a solid backbone of acidity. An extraordinarily expressive wine, it offers a superb value alternative to white Burgundy. It pairs wonderfully with poultry, rich fish, or mature cheeses.

Vinification
Only made in the very best vintages, the berries are hand selected from the Úrágya vineyard and are transported carefully to the winery. Once there, the clusters undergo a fast and gentle method of destemming and pressing. The must is then fermented and aged in 300 Litre Hungarian oak casks (50% new and 50% used) for around 12 months prior to bottling.
