Préselő Winery – Messzelátó-dűlő Furmint 2016

Winemaking

The grapes for the wine were carefully selected and only healthy bunches free from Botrytis reached the harvesting boxes. They were pressed after destemming and the must was quickly taken to the Presélő’s cool cellar with stable temperature of 12-13 °C. Spontaneous fermentation without cultured yeast but with nutrients in third-fill 200-l Zemplén oak barrels. No malolactic fermentation or battonage. The wine stayed in the barrel for aging before it was bottled on 25th August 2017.

Wine tasting

“Very pale wine. The strength of the barrel can be felt in the nose, accompanied by sweet-toned spices, vanilla, aniseed and clove. The aroma is citrusy, the acids beautiful and clear. A little lightness can be felt throughout. It is still very young, the presence of the barrel complements the fruit in the mouth. A long, substantial and very young wine.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
