Hétszőlő Sweet Szamorodni 2020 (Bio)

The sweet Szamorodni from Hétszőlő is stylistically very close to Aszú and clearly belongs among Tokaj’s great sweet wines. It is made from a high proportion of botrytised grapes and combines intensity with remarkable freshness.

In the glass, it shows a bright golden colour, with concentrated aromas of honey, candied stone fruit, dried apricot and floral notes. On the palate, it is rich and sweet, almost as intense as an Aszú, yet slightly more direct, fresher and more vibrant. The acidity keeps the sweetness precisely balanced, giving the wine length and energy.

A complex, long-lived sweet wine with excellent ageing potential, combining the depth of an Aszú with a slightly more accessible, lively character.
