Is Dry Tokaji Hungary’s Best-Kept Wine Secret? | Préselő 2020 Tokaji Furmint

Tokaji may be famous for dessert wine, but this bottle shows a completely different side of Hungary’s historic wine region.This week, we taste the 2020 Préselő Tokaji Furmint, a bone-dry white packed with sharp acidity, green apple, citrus, minerality, and a petrol note that transforms as the wine opens. We explore why dry Furmint has struggled to escape Tokaji’s sweet reputation and whether it could follow Riesling’s path from misunderstood grape to white-wine favorite.At around $30, can this unfamiliar Hungarian wine earn a place at your next dinner?Wine Details:Producer: PréselőWine: Tokaji FurmintVintage: 2020Region: Tokaj, HungaryGrape: 100% FurmintABV: 11.5%Price: About $30Provided by: UNPINNED Bottle ShopLearned more about and sign up for the UNPINNED Wine Club and Bottle Shop!Website: https://unpinnedwineclub.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unpinnedwine/Support the show!Buy us a glass!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/cheers3⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with the show.
