Villa Tolnay

TÜKÖR FURMINT

2019

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, with distinctive minerality and vibrant acidity.

The Tükör Furmint grapes were picked by hand, and fermentation was spontaneous with native yeasts in 750-1500 L Stockinger oak barrels. The wine was then aged for 10 months on the lees in large oak barrels.

We love to compare the different expressions of Furmint from all around Hungary. This Furmint from Csobánc is herbal herbal and juicy, with white flowers, peach, and basalt minerals on the nose. Green herbs and citrus fruits dominate on the palate. Great acidity and a long finish.
