Patricius Brut – a proper picnic treat

The bottle fermented sparkling wine is made of 100% Furmint. A terroir sparkling wine made by traditional method shows the characteristics of the volcanic Tokaj soil. After ageing for more than 3.5 years in bottle it was disgorged in small lots. “Due to the characteristics of the vintage, in 2016 we decided to produce our Brut from Furmint. The grape was harvested from Várhegy and Sajgó vineyards. Fresh, well structured sparkling wine with elegantly restrained notes of flowers, citruses and green apple in the nose. On palate in brings fine bubbles with creamy tastes of the bottle ageing and the minerality. A complex sparkling wine with elegance, nicely showing the skills of the terroir.”
