2023 Barta Furmint Egy Kis

Notes & Pairings

“Kis” literally translates to small, but the sentiment is that while it’s the younger sibling to the older vine and barrel fermented versions, it’s not dumbed down either. All of the fruit comes from the famed terraced Öreg Király Dűlő, but from the younger cordon trained vines. It’s also picked early without botrytis and 90% fermented in stainless steel and the rest in oak. Just a few short months on the lees, it was racked off the lees in February without going through malolactic fermentation.
