white grape

Furmint

Cool continental with autumn fogs; the Tokaj region of Hungary is sacred.

Known as: Furmint

Furmint is the grape of Tokaj, Hungary's legendary sweet wine region, and the source of some of the world's most historic dessert wines.

Its naturally high acidity and thick skins make it perfect for noble rot, producing the unctuous Aszú wines that once graced the tables of royals.

Dry Furmint is also a rising star: deeply mineral, smoky and textural in the volcanic soils of Tokaj.
