Butterscotch and cream lead to abundant yellow fruits and acacia honey, plus hints of yuzu zest. The 2020 vintage of the single-vineyard dry Furmint was fermented in Zemplén barrels and aged in oak for 10 months (20% new). Sweet-spiced on the palate, showcasing dried pineapple, banana peel, yellow peach and apricot tart. High acidity (7.3 g/l) and grapefruit peel bitterness keep the finish long yet fresh.
