The fragrant lady of Tokaj


               The fragrant lady of Tokaj

       Clear, light and crispy but very elegant vino for the summer!

Forget whatever you think you already knew about Tokajis, as it will open another dimension for you on the subject!

A direct wine with her fresh crunchy ripen grape aromas dominating over the peach, orange, mango notes with floral hints from the Muscat grape. This is Tokaj's playful and cheeky answer for the upcoming Moscato madness. 

Very refreshing with its explicit acidity, the drop of residual sugar brings great balance, the finish is there to stay on your palate for a long while and will force you to have some more of this beautiful wine.
She would pair perfectly with light creole dishes - ital ( rasta ) dishes, fruit or vegetable salad and seafood. 
Gentlemen, Erzsebet Pince's Muscat Lunee is the romantic meals and moments' secret weapon, don't be shy to use it!
Food pairing: I have chosen the grilled Zemplen Orda with fresh mixed salad sprayed with Tokaji Moscato balsamic vinegar; a super-yummy, light summer dish, fantastic with this vino.
 
( Orda is a fresh white cheese made from whey of sheep, goat or cow by the people living in the basin of the Carpathians . It is produced by heating the whey resulting from the draining of any type of cheese. It is often made into molds to the shape of a half sphere. The paste is finely grained, silky and palatable. )

A great choice to bring her to the beach, fetes; she is the ultimate party wine.  Serve her chilled ( 10C ), perfect to enjoy under the hot Caribbean sun!




I hope I will be able to bring her to your favourite restaurants in the West Indies.
