Wenzel Furmint 'aus dem Quarz' 2023 no-wrapin

Wenzel Furmint 'aus dem Quarz' 2023 no-wrapinA pale gold iteration of the historical, indigenous grape variety of the Pannonian plain, which Hungary and Austria both share one of the two varieties that usually comprises the famous Tokaj. Fresh aromas of golden apple, fully ripened quince, a hint of lemon. It's got nice body on the palate, but finishes refreshingly brisk with a mineral underpinning. The stork on the label is an homage to this native bird of Burgenlandthey spend a lot of time

It's given about a year's worth of aging in those barrels

While they are great glasses for white wines in general

with interesting notes of orange and cognac and rich

and aged in new-charred American oak for a minimum of two years

the vessels are then closed for 6-8 months of maceration

and deeply elegant

This cup has a matte finish

with black cherry in the nose leading to a nice density on the palate

zippy and dry

but also fits neatly into a darker cocktail like a Martinez

The winery runs on a single solar panel powering a single light bulb

30% Cabernet Sauvignon
