Istvan Balassa-Duck-Furmint-2023
Varietals: Istvan is a magician when it comes to blending different vineyards and this Furmint does not disappoint. As Istvan mentions "the main goal with this wine is to capture a drinkable and approachable Furmint" and we cannot agree more. Probably one of the best price quality ratio Furmints out there.
Tasting Notes: Attractive aromas of banana, quince jam, crushed yellow pears, white flowers and salty minerals.. On the palate we have a crisp with a medium body and the attack reveals sweet spices and ripe critus. One more glass please!
