Description

Lemon colour. Sniffing into the glass we can detect yellow flesh fruits along with the toasty notes of barrel ageing. The aromas reminiscent of apple and peach besides the flavours of vanilla and spices together give complex and layered palate. This single vineyard Furmint boasts unique minerality and vibrant acidity. Serious extract, full body – a developed wine lingering in our month for a long time.
