Somlói Apátsági Pince Furmint

The Furmint is one of the most important white grapes in Hungary. A classy wine, with nice acidity and storage potential. Which can also be used to make very good sweet wines. Zoltán Balogh has the Furmint in a vineyard on volcanic soil. He harvests quite late and allows the grapes to ferment spontaneously in large Hungarian oak barrels. This produces a very complex wine with a lot of tension and a slightly 'off-dry' character.

Golden yellow. You smell flowers, honey, marzipan and dried herbs. Super ripe juice with lots of width. Something freshly sweet. You taste banana, melon, apple and spicy minerality. Because Zoltán's vineyard is located on the volcanic hill of Somló in northwest Hungary.
