"Lively, precise and fresh, with lemons, herbs and mild spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with a juicy center palate. Fruity and mouthwatering finish. Drink now. Screw cap."

"The 2023 Furmint is from the Thurner and Vogelsang sites on the loamy sand called Ruster Schotter, or Ruster gravel, on the midslope. It fermented in both stainless steel and large 1,500-liter acacia barrels. The nose combines a slight, flinty reduction with lemon and chervil in a most winning fashion. The palate is like an arrow of bright, citrusy freshness, shooting with real verve and energy. The body is beautifully slender and yeasty on the creamy finish."

"The 2021 Furmint, fermented in stainless steel and acacia barrel, is grown on loamy sand. The nose is redolent of apple and pear flesh, always with a floral dimension that takes in fresh and dried white blossoms, chamomile and apple. The plate is luminous with acidity, super-fluid, rounded and compact, but utterly streamlined. The earthy element here is stronger, more textural and slightly phenolic but also immensely salty, like salted, smoky apple flesh. Long and fine. (Bone-dry)"

"The 2022 Furmint was grown in Rust, on the loamy sand that is called Ruster Schotter, or Rust gravel. It opens with such a heady nose of ripe but tart yellow apple, along with an immense floral load that subsumes apple blossom and dried white petals alongside apple tisane. The slender palate has a beautifully bundled energy, driving the concentrated fruit and freshness forward with fluidity and purpose. A lovely earthy element anchors this in soil, allowing it to soar with light-footed roundedness. This was made in stainless steel and acacia barrel. (Bone-dry)"
