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

The wines which make up this traditional blend are the result of many years
of experience shared with my father and grandfather.
The older material in the blend provides weight and depth of flavour — the
younger wine adds freshness and lightness.
