Notes & Pairings
Ripening later than the Olaszrizling in the middle of September, spontaneous fermentation took place in 1000L Hungarian oak followed by 10 months of aging and another 8 months in tank. Despite ripening later, this is bone dry with a full degree less alcohol than the Olaszrizling. Sharper edges, but still demonstrably fresher in terms of oxidative or botrytis notes compared to the traditional line. This is about as naked as Furnint can get on Somló while still being picked ripe and drinking from the hard mineral water inside the extinct volcano.
