It’s WHITE. It’s RICH. It’s GREAT…
Carrying a little more weight and texture than its sister wine which we also stock, this is aged in oak barrels for 6 months hence its classification as RICH rather than juicy. Plus the blend with Hárslevelű grapes which gives added complexity. Those tertiary flavours, hints of vanilla and spice, mean it is best drunk with food: a pork tenderloin or roast chicken would be my first choice. Alongside the richness is another classy dry white wine with the minerality you’d expect from the Furmint grape and the structure that comes from volcanic soils in this still underrated Hungarian appellation.
If you want the same great wine without the oak then just grab the normal dry furmint here.
