Barta, Furmint Pezsgö, Tokaj, Hungary, 2017

Quince, yellow fruit and citrus blossom on the nose with toasty depth from 36 months of lees ageing. Great mousse and brioche roundness embrace the fruits, with bright green apple acidity (7.7g/l) dancing elegantly on the tip of the tongue. Red apple peel and steamed rice linger on forever. Poised and complex, a brilliant example showcasing the potential of sparkling wines from Tokaj.
