Furmint is a traditional Hungarian grape variety, grown for centuries in the world-famous Tokaj wine region. It holds sugar and acids well, providing a cavalcade of flavours and aromas, including honey, pear and quince. This vineyard selection Furmint is a well-rounded dry white wine, with a creamy texture courtesy of its unique terroir accompanied by lively acids. The fruity aromas are nicely complemented by the spices from the barrel aging. Light but substantial, this is a complex wine of real body.
It goes very well with herb crusted poultry, fish, sushi and dumplings. If you are preparing a cheese board then pair it with medium hard cheese including Edam, Emmental, Gruyere and Gouda.
Serving temperature: 9-11°C
The Tokajicum Winery is situated in the historical wine region of Tokaj, renowned for its white wines, but especially its unique Late Harvest and Aszu dessert wines. The winery cultivates grapes on 20 hectares of prime location land, with vines that are 40 years or older. The result are vines which naturally self-regulate their yield, producing wines of real character with a high mineral content.
