Winemaking: Our Late Harvest wine is 15 % Kabar from Vinnai vineyard, 85 % Furmint from Király vineyard. We picked shrivelled, partly botrytised bunches. Winemaking was similar for both lots: after pressing and maceration at a relatively low temperature, we pressed the grapes. The two lots fermented separately in wood barrels and were blended to create a rounded wine. The fundamentally fiery Furmint with the gentler Kabar with a harmonious sugar acid balance and a slightly more complex nose thanks to the Kabar. Currently the wine is aging in 225-l third-fill barrel..
Wine tasting: “This wine offers intensive aromas and the hint of peach denotes the presence of Kabar. The Furmint is more powerful with livelier spicy notes to discover. On tasting the sweetness seems almost restrained: its beautiful acids mean it doesn’t behave as a sweet wine. Superb proportions, lightness, subtle tannins make it far more than a late harvest wine. Definite yet airy, long but not overpowering with the finish. Nothing breaks its dynamism.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
