Wine notes:

"In the '06 release, we had the opportunity to offer an enjoyable wine that was racy and round or a wine that was more polished and better structured but that would take some patience to understand. The company agreed on producing the more serious wine and selected the latter." - Anthony Hwang, proprietor

A highly-perfumed Tokaji nose with a touch of fresh cut hay in combination with citrus fruitiness and nuanced minerality on the palate. A dry component from Nyulászó ushers in a welcomed calmness to the sweetness and nervy acidity of the vintage. A vertical wine with a crystalline surface that deserves serious attention and thought. A wonderful pairing with fatty fish, roast poultry and ham.

Reviews:

"...the barrel-fermented and oak-aged dry Tokaji delivers scents of citrus, hay and
stones. It's an extraordinary dry white wine of uncommon originality." - Matt Kramer, Wine Spectator   (Wine Spectator, December 2008)

"...its flavorsome mix of honey, bitter and chamomile qualities embraces and soothes the vegetable beast." - William R. Snyder, Wall Street Journal   ("Celery's Taking Root" - Wall Street Journal, April 2010)
