Lenkey Szamorodni 2018

Lenkey sweet Szamorodni is a Hungarian Tokaj classic reborn through natural elegance. Crafted from a traditional blend of Furmint and Hárslevelű, this sweet wine unfolds with a gorgeous medley of aromas: tropical fruits, pear blossom, apricot, dried figs, yellow apple, quince, honey, propolis, and a hint of ginger. The palate is rich and silky yet lifted by bright acidity, with mineral notes weaving through the finish. A vibrant, expressive Szamorodni that feels both timeless and refreshingly alive.

What is Szamorodni?

The word “Szamorodni” comes from the old Polish term for “as it comes”. In Tokaj, it refers to a historic sweet-wine style made from whole grape bunches containing both healthy and botrytised berries—harvested and pressed together, just as nature delivers them. This creates a naturally balanced sweetness, gentle botrytis character, and a complex, layered profile unique to Hungarian Tokaj wines.
