2017 DRY FURMINT Disznókő, Lea & Sandeman

DRY FURMINT

2017 Disznókő

Grapes Furmint
Colour White
Origin Hungary, Tokaji
ABV 13%

Whilst Tokaji and Furmint are most associated with sweet wine, the variety's natural crisp acidity is winning fans in the dry white wine department too. Dry, bright, quite mineral but with crisp apple, pear, citrus and apricot tones to the fruit; and a lovely clean finish. L&S (Sept 2019)

Disznókő

The name Disznókő - the rock of the wild boar - was first recorded in 1413 and refers to a large rock sat atop a small hill overlooking the vineyards. Listed as a "first growth" as far back as 1732, this 150ha vineyard in the south west of the Tokaji region has long been regarded as one of the region's finest.

As with much of Tokaji, Disznókő's fortunes suffered under nationalisation during the Communist era. But, in 1992, it was purchased by AXA Millésimes (owners of Château Pichon Longueville and Quinta do Noval, amongst others) who have reinvigorated Disznókő and put in the love and investment required to return it to the top rank of Tokaji estates.
