Kardos Dry Furmint 2021
A complex and elegant Furmint from Tokaj, this wine would be perfectly at home on any wine list, showcasing the region’s signature minerality and bright citrus character. Meet the Producer: This tiny, family-owned estate in Tokaj combines centuries of winemaking tradition with meticulous vineyard care, producing wines that reflect the unique volcanic soils of the region. Production: Grapes are sourced from 20-year-old vines in the south-facing Arany Sajgó vineyard, planted on volcanic white zeolite soils. Hand-harvested and promptly crushed and destemmed, the fruit undergoes controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks with natural Tokaji yeast. The wine is aged in stainless steel for three months, with weekly bâtonnage to enhance texture. Tasting Notes: Pale green in colour, with a fresh grapefruit nose. Flavours of grapefruit, pear, and lime follow through on the palate. Dry, crisp, and beautifully balanced, with elegant minerality and a refreshing bitter edge on the finish. Food Match: Ideal as an aperitif, or paired with seafood linguine, fresh salads, and a range of cheeses. Region/Country: Tokaj, Hungary Grape: Furmint 100%
