Product notes
As soon as they arrive in the cellar, the grapes are delicately pressed in order to preserve all the varietal aromas of Furmint. Aged 100% in stainless steel tanks for 6 months. The nose offers a palette of fresh fruits, flint, grapefruit and candied lemons. The attack is balanced and straightforward, opening with flavors of white fruits, citrus and sour candy. The finish is slightly sweet, with a controlled and salivating acidity.
