Established in 1990, Royal Tokaji's goal was to revive the wines of one of history's most renowned regions. With 108 hectares of vineyards, 57 hectares are situated in three First Growths - Szt. Tamás, Nyulászó, Betsek - and in one Great First Growth of Mézes Mály. Their 14th Century cellars are the perfect environment for their age worthy wines and looking to the future a new, state-of-the-art winery was built in 2010. Their wines have received over 100 international awards and are highly acclaimed worldwide.
Dry Szamorodni is a traditional Tokaji style, found only in this region. The nose shows almonds, nuts, and dried fruits. The palate is very dry, fresh, and finishes with a clean, savoury edge.
It is made from a mix of healthy and botrytised grapes, with a total potential alcohol of 15.5%. The batch began as the base must for Mézes Mály 6 puttonyos Aszú. After pressing and fermentation, it spent five and a half years in used Zemplén oak barrels in the Dry Szamorodni cellar. During this long ageing, a thin layer of flor formed, and the wine slowly lost about 0.5% alcohol each year.
Serve at 12°C, on its own or as an aperitif. It pairs well with aged cheeses, olives, capers, and seafood dishes.
Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
