🍷 Tokaji Fordítás
Tokaji made by pouring wine over the pomace left after aszú.
Fordítás is a special kind of Tokaji wine from Hungary. The word means pouring over. It is made like this: after making Tokaji aszú, the sweet wine from berries with noble rot, pomace remains. Must or young wine is poured onto this pomace again, left for several hours and then pressed. The wine takes up the sugar and aroma of the remaining berries.
The result is a wine that is sweeter and richer than ordinary wine, but lighter and simpler than aszú. It costs less. Fordítás belongs to Tokaji wine, as does máslás, similar in method, where wine is poured over the lees after aszú.
Tokaj is a region in north-eastern Hungary and one of the oldest wine areas in the world. It is part of UNESCO heritage. Fordítás shows how Tokaj masters use their raw material to the full without throwing anything away. It is served chilled, with desserts, pâté and cheese. Hungarian wines in general have a long history.
