Alcohol:  14%

Residual sugar: 8.6 g/L

Terroir, vineyard:  Öreg király vineyard (Mád, Tálya)

Harvest: Hand harvested
Technology: In 2021, a cool spring and late flowering made vines fall some two weeks behind the calendar and they would never catch up with it until the end of the growing season. This meant that dry wine harvest was pushed back to the second half of what was an extremely dry September. With some residual sugar and a brief touch of oak, this single-vineyard Furmint sports an amazing structure, marked by refreshing, racy acidity. An outsanding vintage.
