Royal Tokaji The Oddity Dry Furmint

What it pairs with

• Grilled trout with lemon butter
  The wine's racy acidity and citrus notes complement the delicate fish and cut through the butter.
• Langoustine with herb mayonnaise
  Mineral salinity mirrors the brininess of shellfish; the acidity refreshes the palate.
• Goat's cheese salad
  Tangy chèvre finds an echo in the wine's citrus-mineral register.

History

Launched under Royal Tokaji's modern dry-Furmint range to demonstrate the grape's potential beyond sweet Aszú. The name reflects the estate's view that dry Furmint from Mád was still an unusual choice when first bottled.
