Tasting Notes
Krisztián Sauska owns three cutting-edge wineries in different Hungarian regions and his Tokaj team, led by winemaker Gábor Rakaczki, makes Medve into a very Burgundian style of Furmint, with upfront leesy bâtonnage notes and a hint of active reduction. The muscular acidic structure enlivens a cocktail of green apples and pears. Give it another year for the ambitious oak treatment to integrate.
