Barta Pince - Öreg Király Dűlő Furmint 0929 2017

Winemaking

This 100 % Furmint wine is from 22 rows in Öreg Király where we removed the leaves when the berries started growing. The grapes were beautiful yellow and flavourful with good acidity when harvested on 29th September. Processed gently, the must settled, drawn off using gravitation and spontaneously fermented with temperature control. Furmint 0929 is resting on fine lees.

Wine tasting

“Youthful in colour and aromas, a slightly closed wine. The nose opens beautifully with a little air and gingerbread spices, salty-mineral notes and quince appear with time. Some sweetness perceptible in the sip but by no means does this give it a light character. Defined acid backbone, great barrel use, subtly silky texture. Long, substantial and complex wine with serious potential.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
