What it pairs with

  • Walnut cake
    Hazelnut and caramel notes in the wine complement the walnut's earthy richness.
  • Mild blue cheese platter
    The Szamorodni's moderate sweetness and acidity handle softer blue cheeses well.
  • Apple strudel
    Caramelised apple in both the wine and pastry form an echo pairing.

History

Szamorodni is a traditional Tokaj style predating modern Aszú; 'Szamorodni' means 'as it was born' in Polish, describing the practice of harvesting botrytised and healthy grapes together. Disznókő produces both sweet (édes) and dry (száraz) versions.

  1. 1995 — Édes Szamorodni introduced to Disznókő's range
