Notes & Pairings
This is only the second vintage of this wine. The Furmint is sourced from the 20-30 year old loamy and volcanic rhyolite heavy soils of the Hintós and Danczka vineyards in the Tokaji Village of Mád. Hintós is in the northeastern corner of Mád and Danczka is in the southwest – a cross section of the village. Danczka is named after the Polish port city of Gdańsk (Danzig in German) and was used to get Tokaji wines to Sweden and Russia. Half of the fruit was macerated in alternation layers of whole cluster and destemmed grapes for about two weeks in closed off containers. Fermentation was completed in fiberglass before getting volatile. The other half was destemmed and direct basket pressed into a mixture of Clayver Amphoras and Apollo Flextank Egg fermenters. All in all, two vinification methods in three different vessels. Unsurprisingly, the Hungarian authorities have no idea what to do with this, so on the local labels, she can’t even write Furmint.
