What to Expect

Most closely associated with Hungary, Furmint is used in the production of that country's greatest wine: Tokaji. A rare grape that ripens with high acid and sugar levels, it is ideally suited to the production of sweet dessert wines, with its honied flavors of dried apricot. When bottled as a dry wine it may lack some aromatic intensity of many wines yet may be richly flavored with smoky mineral notes and lime edged pear fruit tones.

Winemakers Notes

"This classification is the foundation of the style; displaying the fresh aromas, rich fruit, clean spirit and great length of flavour on the palate, which are the mark of all the Tokays of Rutherglen. The Tokays of Rutherglen bear a mark of authenticity – an oval logotype with a stylised “R” – which is only applied to the wines drawn from the great vineyards of the region. The “Tokay of Rutherglen” trademark assures the highest quality of wine exclusively sourced from the Rutherglen Wine Region. Campbells’ ‘house style’ is typically complex and elegant, capturing read more...a rich purity of fruit flavours." Colin Campbell

Tasting Notes:
A deep, brilliant old gold colour. A bouquet of lifted toffee, honey and cold tea characters combine to produce the unique character of Rutherglen Tokay. Toffee and tea-leaf characters predominate on the front of the palate with a cleansing hint of spirit and old oak on the finish. Blended for optimum flavour and balance prior to bottling, this wine will not improve with further cellaring and should ideally be enjoyed soon after opening.

Serving Suggestions:
A mouthwatering combination served chilled with honeycomb ice-cream, fig or quince based desserts and soft cheeses. Chill to use as an aperitif or dessert wine or serve at room temperature at the end of the meal with coffee and chocolate caramels.

Winemaking Details:
100% Rutherglen Tokay (Muscadelle) from Campbells Rutherglen vineyards. Each vintage the tokay grapes are left on the vine to fully ripen until raisined and laden with natural sugar. The resulting wine is then blended with wines from previous vintages to produce a consistent house style. This wine contains portions from a number of vintages over several years.
