A clear, moderately intense, light straw-golden yellow furmint. The nose is clean and pronounced, with developing aroma of citrus fruits and peach followed by soft smoky and mineral notes. On the palate the wine is dry and medium-bodied, accompanied by ripe pear, apricot, green apples with hints of vanilla. A well balanced and elegant furmint with a velvety texture that is meant to be savoured, with potential to develop further as the wine ages.
