Experts are convinced, so now it’s the customers’ turn

Furmint Day is the brainchild of Dániel Kézdy who believes that the variety deserves wider recognition on the international scene and Furmint Day can help to achieve this goal. Furmint Day joins Furmint February which is in its ninth year now in Hungary and is a series of events lasting for a whole month with the purpose of turning the spotlight on this variety.

“I’ve been studying furmint for a long time and have learnt that in terms of winemaking styles it offers great variety. What is more the unvariably elegant acidity and the ability to transmit terroir characteristics makes it a worthy candidate for an important player in international markets. The majority of sommeliers, wine experts and wine merchants who have tasted Furmint formed a favourable opinion of it, so the next task ahead is to convince customers to make furmint a regular item on their shopping lists. This can’t be too difficult to achieve”, says Dániel Kézdy.
