Winemaking: The vineyard is immediately next to an abandoned quartz mine. The grapes were pressed with a traditional hand press, and then fermented and matured in 500-litre local Zemplén oak barrel.
Wine tasting: “This is the first time Mádi Borház has participated in the Auction. Their philosophy clearly emphasises barrel fermented and matured dry wines. This requires somewhat longer preparation from the winemaker, more patience from the consumer. This wine is entering its third year, still in the barrel. Its structure has the stronger tannins typical of Furmint with longer barrel aging. Long, full wine with warm tones in both nose and palate.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
