Sauska x Ökumenikus Segélyszervezet Brut

Tokaj

As a result of our long partnership with Hungarian Interchurch Aid (HIA)  we now proudly offer two remarkable wines for the winter holiday season. For each bottle purchased, the winery supports the work of HIA helping needy families and children with HUF 1,500.

Sauska Brut NV is a limited edition, specially labeled sparkling wine, a vibrand blend of Tokaj Furmint, Hárslevelű and Chardonnay. Straw yellow with golden hues, regular bubbles. Attractive aroma of honey, ripe citrus and juicy pineapple. The first sip is freshly grated lemon peel and lemon butter, followed by an elegant mineral smokiness. A lively sparkling wine with great balance, and a lingering, long finish.
