Aus dem Quartz 2019
A wine that redefines the idea of an Austrian classic. Spicy, flinty and textured - we like to think Furmint is the Chenin Blanc of the East. Give it time to breath and the wine will unfold incredible layers of depth. A wine that certainly pushes above its weight.
From a handful of vineyards in Michael`s home town Rust, Burgenland this Furmint comes from 10 to 30 years old vines. The grapes are harvested throughout September and usually whole-bunch pressed a few hours after the grapes arrive in the winery. The fermenting juice finishes fermentation in tank and barrel and is then aged for 8 months on the leese before being racked and bottled without filtration.
