2024 Tokaj Furmint

Despite pushing the limits on both sweet and sparkling wines with extremely long élevage (5+ years) and off the charts residual sugar to acid ratios, Zoltán has never lost sight of having a solid table wine. Case in point is this estate Furmint which mostly pulls from the old vines of the Hold-völgy vineyard up in Ratka as well as the upper levels of the Lapis Vineyard near the Bodrog River. Two long, slow and gentle presses, and then fermented and aged in stainless steel. The wine has plenty of structure, but is also picked at a point where there’s still some residual sugar to tame the acidity.
