Stock information
One of the gems of the Mád Basin. Pisti makes a charming, coaxing wine from the white rhyolite tuff soil. The terroir character accompanies the Furmint's profile throughout. Spontaneous barrel fermentation, followed by 8 months of ageing in the same vessel. Stone fruits alongside finely tuned barrel spices. Tight, creamy, and full. The salty, stony, vineyard-specific notes last long after the initial sip.
Alcohol: 14.0%
Residual sugar: 7.3 g/l

„Five hectares is the limit for me. That’s the upper ceiling of quantity and quality that one can control. For me, that point comes at five hectares. The character of a vineyard shows itself the most if we wander around it incessantly; if we live together with the parcel and nature. We experience, learn and improve year after year. Something that worked in 2010 had to be redefined in 2011. In such a dominant and warm year, the differences between the vineyards appear more slowly. I work exclusively with second-fill barrels; the first fill never makes it into the bottle. It would suppress the character of the vineyards.”
