Gizella’s owner László Szilágyi still sees dry Furmint as a journey, so never stops tweaking his wines. This latest vintage is a blend of all his single vineyards with just 10% oak to focus on freshness. He has switched to whole-bunch pressing and includes 15% Hárslevelű to add aromas and gentle fruitiness for a refined, elegant and delicate style with great purity and drinkability.
