Made as part of the Society's Generation Series to celebrate its 150th anniversary – dry Furmint has been a regular feature in its lists since the 1940s – this exclusive bottling comes from respected Tokaji producer Pajzos. It's a great alternative to a full-bodied Chardonnay – rich, ripe and luxuriant, with a baroque opulence. There's a weight of ripe apple fruit, but the couple of years of bottle age and partial oak ageing adds complexity, with notes of lime and toast, and an almost nutty finish. Complex and satisfying, this would be a great choice to pair with roast pork and apple sauce.
