The Kikelet winery’s estate Furmint was spontaneously fermented in barrels, in which it was also aged for 4 months. The speciality of the vintage is that for the first time the Furmint is complemented with 5% Hárslevelű. Flowers, lime, honey and restrained minerality on the nose. First, the taut acid structure, then sweet apple notes appear on the palate, with minerality on the long aftertaste. Excellent balance and great aging potential.
„We are on the road of learning in Tokaj. As the base of the sweet wines are the dry ones, we firstly have to become acquainted with the character of a good dry wine, then the next step will be the realisation of the vineyard character in sweet wines. 2011 was the best vintage for dry wines from loess soil. We experimented in small batches from September to the end of November with grapes of different levels of ripeness, without noble rot, for choosing the perfect harvest date in our vineyards. For a long time people looked down on these loess areas, but Zsolt and myself believed in loess a lot due to the past of Tarcal. We really love Hárslevelű and we are starting to get to know our vineyards.”
