Crafted by the esteemed Royal Tokaji Wine Company, the Dry Furmint stands as a testament to the winemaking expertise rooted in Hungary’s historic Tokaj region. With a rich history dating back to the 17th century, the Royal Tokaji Wine Company has become synonymous with the production of exceptional wines, showcasing the unique characteristics of the indigenous Furmint grape.
Nestled in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, Tokaj’s volcanic soils and a unique microclimate contribute to the grape’s expressive character. The undulating landscapes and the proximity to the Tisza and Bodrog rivers create optimal conditions for the Furmint grape, allowing it to achieve a harmonious balance of acidity and ripeness.
The grapes, handpicked at the peak of ripeness, undergo a gentle pressing to extract the purest juice. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant fruit flavours and the grape’s natural acidity.
In the glass, Royal Tokaji Dry Furmint unveils a pale golden hue, reflecting its purity and elegance. The nose is an intricate dance of citrus blossoms, green apple, and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, a crisp acidity balances the flavours of ripe pear, apricot, and hints of white pepper. The finish is lingering and refreshing, leaving a lasting impression of the wine’s sophistication.
A real Hungarian gem!
