2020 Furmint of Sandstones Doppler

Traditionally referred to as the „Austria-Magnum,” this 2 liter bottle reminds Gottfried of seeing Massive Attack live at Novarock. This is festival wine. Furmint was once a very important grape in the region known as Mosler. Largely lost due to Phylloxera, the Iron Curtain, and the decline of traditional field blends, this grape persists here thanks to a handful of growers like Gottfried. It’s also ideally suited for climate change. After a relatively short maceration (12-36 hours), it’s then fermented and aged in 600L oak barrels for one year. The limy sandstone and lack of botrytis both offer something completely new as opposed to the volcanic ridden soils of Somló and Tokaj.
