Tokaji Szamorodni Selection 2017
Hungary, Tokaj
Yellow Muscat
Description
This unique wine is available in limited edition and can be made only in very rare vintages. This extraordinary wine specialty is now available for the first time in the history of Gróf Degenfeld Winery. Its uniqueness lies already in its exotic, spicy aromas, with the appearance of pineapple and a drop of lily flowers. On the palate sweet muscatel grapes and ripe melons can be discovered, followed by Turkish honey and a little clove. A real treat for special occasions.

Vineyard
Mezőzombor - Galambos vineyard The soil is typically brown forest soil, but there are loess spots in it. The subsoil is rhyolite, which is almost completely covered with rhyolite tuff.
The vineyards were replanted between 1999 and 2010, using 1,8 m and 2 m row spacing and 0,8 m between the vines according to the modern grape growing technology. We use 10-12 bud cane-pruning and the yield control is 2 kg / vine. All of our vineyards are under organic cultivation since 2009.
