Villa Tolnay

FURMINT MÉTHODE TRADITIONELLE EXTRA BRUT

2020

Villa Tolnay is located at the foot of the volcanic Csobánc hill, on the northern shore of Lake Balaton in western Hungary. The ancient volcanic soils and primeval sediments of the former Pannonian Sea give the wines an unmistakably volcanic expression.

This is the first sparkling wine released by Villa Tolnay, and everything – from harvest to disgorgement – took place at the winery. Comprised of Furmint from a single volcanic vineyard, the Methode Traditionelle is extra brut, with bright citrus fruits, toasted almonds, and a fine bubble on the nose and palate. Long mineral finish.

Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in 750 L Stockinger oak barrels, and 6 months aging in barrel before undergoing secondary fermentation in bottle. Disgorged in March 2023.
