Kobal Furmint 2025
Tasting notes
Furmint in particular reveals the tremendous minerality of Haloze marl-rich vineyards. The bouquet is reminiscent of herbs, white flowers and tropical fruits. Pleasant acidity and minerality on the palate are followed by the discreet creamy aftertaste that is typical of wines matured on lees.
This is a wine for drinking within 2 years of bottling. Serve it chilled with light fish dishes, grilled and steamed vegetables, charcuterie, young cheeses, pasta with white wine sauce, chicken and turkey.
The grapes of 35 year old vines were harvested manually. After a 24-hour skin maceration, the wine was fermented with a combination of indigenous yeasts and select yeasts under controlled cold fermentation between 16° C - 18° C in stainless steel (inox) tanks in order to preserve the varietal aromatics and characteristics. Following fermentation, both wines were matured for 6 months in stainless steel tanks on lees, blended and coarsely fined and filtered before bottling.
