Grape: FurmintVintage: 2021Type: White This dry white wine is a pure varietal bottling of furmint sourced from old estate vines near Rust. Michael Wenzel manages these heritage plo ts on mica schist and weathered limestone soils that naturally restrict vine yields. The hand-picked grapes are pressed gently and ferment spontaneously with native wild yeasts inside old neutral Austrian oak casks. The wine matures on its fine lees for several months to encourage natural structural balance without wood flavor dominance. It pours a clear straw color, releasing clean aromatics of green orchard fruit, lemon flesh, and white flowers. On the palate, a sleek, medium-bodied frame balances crisp pear flavors with an underlying chiseled mineral core. A racy vein of natural acidity cuts through the slightly waxy texture, maintaining great freshness and an athletic energy. Subtle layers of wet rock and wild herbs add depth across the clean framework. It concludes bone-dry and persistent. Show more
