BOTT Csontos Furmint 2021

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.

The nose is fruity, redcurrant with pear and juicy peach. Ripe fruit on the palate as well, full and structured. Acidity still a little noticeable, but it is a wine for the future: peak in 2027-28. A great and memorable dry Tokaj!
