This relatively new addition to the Disznókő family highlights the versatility, individuality and sheer quality of Tokaj’s signature grape variety. This 100% Furmint was drawn from several plots on volcanic/clay soils, fruit that was always destined for dry-wine production. The grapes were harvested by hand with special care to remove botrytised berries, and the wine was vinified in tank.
In Disznókő’s customary style, this is all about purity and zesty freshness to capture the vibrant juiciness and minerality innate to this unique grape variety. With almond, white peach and fresh lime aromas and flavours combined with trademark racy dryness, there’s something akin to a vibrant, spicy Chablis going on here, especially in its flinty, salt-licked close. Serve as an aperitif, with seafood (it’s superb with oysters) or poultry/game bird dishes.
