Discover the best wines made with Furmint as a single variety or as a blend of Continental Region.
Taut, structured whites with cutting acidity and a mineral mouth, featuring aromas of apple, quince, citrus, honey, smoke and chalk notes. Made as ambitious dry wines (Tokaji száraz, Somló), off-dry and especially sumptuous botrytised sweet wines: Tokaji Aszú (legendary, classified by puttonyos) and Tokaji Eszencia. Highly susceptible to noble rot. The absolute star of Tokaj in Hungary, also in Slovakia, Slovenia (Šipon) and Austria. Native Hungarian grape.
Vast inland Croatia (Kontinentalna Hrvatska) from Karlovac to Vukovar via Zagreb, continental climate distinct from the Mediterranean coast. Signature Graševina (Welschriesling) as white king: lively and fruity with notes of green apple, pear, citrus, white flowers, sweet almond and a mineral touch, taut and thirst-quenching palate — the inland soul (two-thirds whites). Aromatic Traminac (lychee, rose), fine Pinot Blanc, full Chardonnay, taut Riesling. Airy Pinot Noir emerges.
