Szamorodni is made using bunches of grapes partially impacted by noble rot. In this wine type botritized grapes are pressed together with the regular grapes, giving the wine the beautiful aromas of botrytis, peach, honey and citrus.
There are both sweet and dry wine varieties of Szamorodni. Sweet szamorodni needs to have a minimum level of residual sugar of 45 grams / liter, although many producers make Szamorodni with much higher sugar content. Taste character of the dry variety is similar to the Spanish fino sherry, however - unlike fino sherry - the dry Szamorodni is made with a natural fermentation, without addding spirit to the wine.
