Balassa, Mézes-Mály Villő Furmint, Tokaji, Tokaj, 2016

István Balassa established his own winery in 2005 and named this wine for his daughter. It comes from the first-class Mézes-Mály dűlő and underwent spontaneous fermentation and ageing in 300l Hungarian oak for up to 10 months. The nose shows hints of creamy vanilla, honey and quince. It's still youthful on the palate, with lovely intensity of quince and apricot supported by a fine acid backbone and very long finish.
