Bodrog Borműhely – Lapis-dűlő Furmint 2017

Wine making

We cultivated the vines organically using only sulphur, copper and orange oil. We selected healthy bunches for the lot. After destemming we pressed at a low pressure. With low sulphur and then 24 hours must settling we racked the must into a 220-l Szerednyei barrel where the must fermented dynamically. It had finished fermenting by the end of October and we waited for the first racking until mid-December. After adding sulphur the wine was returned to the barrel. We plan to bottle the lot at the end of May.

Wine tasting

“The wine seems light from the nose, with a clean and complex fruity, mineral character. It begins with superb acids in the mouth, and ripe grapes are at the fore. A refined and nuanced wine, its power is not its main strength. Honey-fruits in the flavours, traces of the presence of the barrel are perceptible. An elegant and restrained wine.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
