Notes & Pairings
Aromatic and razor sharp. Fermented much the same way as the other Bodrog wines in local Szeredny oak. Where the single vineyard Lapis is creamy and mineral sweet, the Halas vineyard is more tea-like in flavor and texture. Still incredibly young and recently bottled, this wine will continue to evolve in the coming months into the more fiery side of Furmint. Pairs very well with fatty and spicy soups, and like the name of the vineyard meaning fish indicates, it is delicious with fresh water fish.
