Product description The Váradi Furmint was organically cultivated from the Váradi vineyard on Szent György-hegy, an extinct volcano, north of Lake Balaton in Western Hungary. The grapes were hand-harvested. Single vineyard-selected Furmint fermented and aged on the lees for 9 months in 500-litre hungarian oak barrels. A very mineral nose alongside white-fleshed fruit and citrus aromas. Complex flavours with notes of spice and a rich acidity. Long ageing potential. Country Hungary Region Badacsony Colour/Style White Grape Varieties Furmint Drinking Guide Drink now until 2030 ABV 12% Eco Organic, Vegan, Vegetarian Awards Finely nuanced and youthful nose of quince and candied citrus, plus a slew of herbal notes. Really concentrated with great textural complexity, but still only at the upper end of medium-bodied. Then the very long crushed-stone finish leaves no doubt about the greatness of this unique dry white. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. - 95 pts Jamessuckling.com April 2022
