Discover the best wines made with Furmint as a single variety or as a blend of Podravje.
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.
Slovenia's largest wine region around Maribor and Ormož, Germanic heritage of former Lower Styria. Signature aromatic dry whites dominate. Renski Rizling (Rhine Riesling) taut and mineral with signature notes of lemon, white peach, white flowers and a petrol touch. Laški Rizling (Welschriesling) fresh and refreshing, lively Sauvignon (boxwood, citrus), ample Sivi Pinot (Pinot Gris), opulent Traminer (lychee, rose), local Furmint for keeping.
