Sauska Extra Dry

Tokaj

Sunshine gold with consistent bubbles. It opens with the intense aromas of the summer Tokaj vineyards, honey, quince, apricots, and ripe grapes, followed by lime, baked apple, honey, and vanilla on the palate. Vibrant, fresh, and energetic, its delicate sweetness is wonderfully balanced by salty volcanic minerality. Attractive and confident on its own, this sparkling wine performs beautifully with food, especially with seafood up to the sweets.

Tasting

Sunshine gold.
An enticing nose, with notes of ripe citrus, honey and juicy pineapple.
In the mouth, a first fresh impression, with citrus zests, lemon curd and a mineral smokiness.
