Notes & Pairings
30% is sourced from 50-55 year old vines of Királyleányka, Rhein Riesling, Hárslevelű revived by Annamária and her parents, the 70% of Furmint comes from a certified organic grower in the Tokaj village of Mád (Hintós and Dancka). All of the fruit comes from a myriad of volcanic soils. The furmint was destemmed followed with 2 weeks on the skins and basket pressed into punch downs. Her own fruit was picked together as a field blend and co-fermented in egg shaped fermenters. A mixture of whole cluster and destemmed fruit, everything spent 4-5 days on the skins before being basket pressed to finish fermentation in fiberglass. The two parts were blended in August of 2022. On the Hungarian label, she’s not able to write Furmint because of the mixture of appellations, so it’s just listed as “F..mint.” Deeply structured, full of life and rustic in the best possible way.
