We understand this wine is not to be made any more -- probably a low seller because it is so unusual. But what a pity. This is an excellent white wine that has the added advantage of being different and interesting. Made from the same grape used in Hungarian Tokays, this wine was fermented dry, and at age five is still youthful and fresh and full. Leafy, fruit-infused nose and flavors of sweet buttered pears, cashews, papaya, and minerals. Exotic and fun to drink. - HK 2001-08-25
