Furmint, The Oddity, Tokaj
SevenFiftyDaily
Founded in 1990, Royal Tokaji has risen to become one of the most successful foreign investment projects in the region, whose backers include seminal British wine writer Hugh Johnson. While Royal Tokaji also bottles single-vineyard Furmint, mainly for domestic consumption, the Oddity is its entry-level dry wine and the most present in the United States.

"Hungarian Tokaji is famous for its incredible sweet wines ... This bone dry style is also made from Furmint, but is a completely different proposition. ... refreshing, almost tart, acidity and delightful pink grapefruit notes on the finish."
