Pajzos Tokaj at Furmint February in the UK
„Furmint is on a roll with so much more to explore in the way of styles, writes Justin Keay. Reflecting on London’s Furmint February 5.0 event, Keay discovers that UK consumers are not only warming to dry Furmint, but they are also willing to experiment with most UK importers now offering at least one Furmint in their ranges. In just five years this Furmint-focussed event has shown remarkable progress and augurs well for years to come. Keay talks to Caroline Gilby MW and Wine Hungary UK chief Zsuzsa Toronyi about the strides made and picks out aged wines from Puklavec Family Estates and six great Single Vineyard Furmints.“

Pajzos Furmint Selection is amongst the six great single vineyard Furmints from Furmint February 5.0
Pajzos Tokaj – Furmint Selection (Megyer Vineyard) 2019
„I liked all the single vineyard wines from this producer which produces from two historic vineyards, the 63-hectare Megyer and the 52-hectare Pajzos. On balance, my vote probably goes to the former, a slightly richer style maybe reflecting the addition of some Harslevelu to produce a well-balanced and rounded wine with just 1 g r/s. Barrel aged for 6 months, there’s a complex palate here with notes of almond, some marzipan and pear.“ (Malux)
