Dry Furmint 2022

Apple
Mandarin peel
Hazelnut

Apple and mandarin peel with a little hazelnut and ginger. It has enough texture to fill the mouth, with a bright, fresh edge and a gently spicy finish. A dry white for a leisurely catch-up over dinner.

You’ll notice the gentle ginger spice after the fresh fruit.

If you like dry whites with apple, citrus peel and a little nutty richness, try this Furmint.

Matured mainly in steel with lees stirring, with a small part aged in barrels.
