Description

Bioweingut Diwald Furmint vom Hut 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Frumint from the Eisenhut site in Wagram, Austria.

Eisenhut is the warmest vineyard in their village. It is 100% South-facing, with burnt loess soils. The site gets its name from the ironstone which can still be found here. Furmint requires a long ripening period, which is why the Eisenhut site was practically predestined for it.

Taste Profile: Furmint is quite a character: it offers firm acidity, aromas of Williams pears and its typical notes of honey. Always individual, stubborn and fascinating!

Winemaking Process: The fruit is picked late without botrytis, and are fermented with a small portion of whole bunches. The wine is left to mature on the full lees for 8 – 12 months, using either stainless steel or oak depending on the vintage.

Bright & Mineral Whites

From Sancerre to NZ, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
