Description
Demeter Zoltán Orange Wine Furmint 2017
Demeter Zoltán Orange Wine Furmint has a deep and shimmering yellow-orange colour. Beautifully intoxicating nose of candied pineapple, mango and orange peels. The dry palate has a vivid acidity and slightly oily mouthfeel. Unique taste of peaches, herbs and ripe tropical fruits with a rustic note on the finish.
100% Furmint. The fruit comes from Demeter Zoltán's 7 hectares of vineyards throughout the Tokaj region. Loess-soil vineyards at an altitude of approximately 170 meters.
Wine fermentation and maturation takes place in the cellar of a historic house built in 1790 in the town of Tokaj. The wine ages in small barrels.
