Furmint

  • £22.50

Furmint is widely grown throughout eastern Europe, particularly in Hungary, Austria, Slovakia and Slovenia. This example is from the excellent Heidi Schröck in Burgenland in Austria, not far from the Hungarian border, whose family has been making wine for over 300 years. It’s a grape that makes wines with a piercing acidity that really wakes the senses.

Tasting NotesDusky lime and green apple aromas. Decidedly dry and steely, with assertive, bright acidity. Long, tight and focused on the palate, this really awakens the senses and appetite.
