Product Notes

The Sauska Furmint Birsalmás is a delightfully dry white wine originating from the renowned Hungarian winery, Sauska. Produced from the indigenous Furmint grape variety, it exudes elegance and sophistication. It boasts a vibrant palate of quince or 'Birsalmás' in Hungarian, apple, and subtle mineral tones. This creates a harmonious balance of savoury and sweet. On the nose, crisp acidity melds impeccably with delicate floral scents. With great longevity and a polished finish, the Sauska Furmint Birsalmás wine stands as a testament to Hungary's rich viticulture heritage. An absolute must-try for discerning wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

An amazingly complex wine. Pineapple and pear lead the aromas with hints of mint. The palate shows richness and depth, with creamy notes and pistachio nuts, balanced with an amazing fresh streak of acidity. An outstanding example of what the Furmint grape can achieve as a dry wine.
