Wine notes:

A gorgeous dry white emerged in this vintage from a selection of beautiful berries harvested from across all the company's planted vineyards. Our '07 bottling radiates a light lemon yellow color in the glass with a full bouquet of tangy citrus notes and white May flowers. The vintage's earlier harvest and bottling brings out the youthful energy of our Sec. This versatile dry white wine openly reveals its smooth surface and thick texture, while maintaining a welcoming suppleness. A strong structure firmly supports a bigger and rounder body. A pleasant grapefruit flavor and pronounced minerality in a focused finish come to the immediate foreground as the wine's intensity and focus persist in the background.

Reviews:

"The bouquet of flowers and citrus jumps right out of the glass. Its intensity, lively acidity and minerality make the 2007 a terrific wine with food. I've practically gone through a case already, drinking it with charcuterie, smoked salmon, oysters and tuna tartare. It's terrific with Thai food. I also like it with cheese." - S. Irene Virbila, Los Angeles Times   ("Wine of the Week: 2007 Királyudvar Tokaji Furmint Sec" - Los Angeles Times, March 2011)

"...one of the most extraordinary dry white wines you will taste this year, I promise you. Impressively dense, it proffers a striking scent of flowers and minerals with just the barest whiff of honey allied with lemon. Thick-textured, there's a crisp acidity that makes this wine oh-so-drinkable, with that same minerals and flower quality coming through in the taste. A magnificent dry white wine that can accompany all sorts of foods, from fish such as salmon to white meats such as chicken, pork and veal, as well as the most flavorful cheeses. If you try one new-to-you dry white wine this year, this is the one to get." - Matt Kramer, The Oregonian   ("Achieving a sense of 'somewhereness'" - OregonLive.com, August 2010)
