BOTT Csontos Furmint 2018

Furmint has the triple threat of balancing incredibly high acidity, the weight of residual sugar, and being highly susceptible to Botrytis. The mixture of clay and volcanic soils also imparts a chalk-like texture coupled with dried fruit, honey, spice and a mineral backbone. Fermented slowly with native yeasts at uncontrolled temperatures in a barrel, it’s remarkable how true to place it remains.

This has lots of flint, smoky, white pear, and lemon. Full-bodied and chewy. Again, this has a touch of residual sugar but it is full. Gritty and mineral finish with high acidity. Long finish.
