2020 Apátsági Furmint

This 100% Furmint is sourced from the best exposed areas of the Apátsági vineyard in Somló, Hungary, a region with a thousand-year winemaking tradition. Winemaker Zoltán picks later than others on the hill, achieving an astonishing balance between the grape's naturally high acidity and a hint of residual sugar. The wine showcases the characteristic volcanic minerality of Somló terroir, with remarkable sweet-salty acidity that defines the region's distinctive style. This ageworthy wine demonstrates exceptional cellaring potential and represents an exciting example of quality Furmint from this historic Hungarian appellation.
