There can be little doubt that Furmint's origins are Hungarian. First mention of the variety was as far back as the 16th century and the fact that there are differing forms of Furmint bearing the same DNA in Hungarian vineyards suggest that it has been present here for very many years. Furmint is the principal grape of the great sweet wines of Tokaji, the other being its progeny, Harslevelu. Furmint is a very high-quality grape, capable of producing intense, complex wines of great age-worthiness.
They say that Tokaji was once one of the most important wines in the world. Even Peter Alexeyevich, King Louis XIV and Austrian composer Joseph Haydn couldn't resist the charm of Tokai. This delightful Hungarian sweet wine has aromas of honey, figs, and minerality. Very nice balanced on the palate with high acidity that keeps this wine absolutely delicious and not too sweet. Its full-body support long finish. The only fact that I didn’t like about this wine is its size of 0.5liter….I want more
The flavour density is stunning, the complexity is joyful, and the balance is sublime. Caramelized apples, cobbler crust, subtle spices, nuances of Sauternes, sticky but with a tannic acidity that lifts the palate and pulls you back like a hummingbird to honeysuckle.
A classicstyle of Sauternes. A perfect way to finish a meal. A nose of citurs fruits with died fruit on the palate. Both rich and smooth in the mouth with a lasting sweet finish.
A beautiful amber colour with a prominent nose of apricot jam. The palate is rich and ripe with sweet velvety texture and flavours of dried fruits, apricots, figs, raisins. The finish has a lick of citrus to keep it fresh.
A sweet red wine. A deep, black-cherry colour with a classic Mediterranean nose of raisins. Rich and flavoursome on the palate with hints of dates, cinnamon and syrup coming through.mez
