Furmint is the noble grape of Hungary’s Tokaj region, one of the most historical wine regions in the world, recognized in the 17^th century for its luscious, sweet wines. It was only until the post-Communist era (in the early 1990s) when the dry styles emerged. The best thing about Furmint is its high-wire acidity and nutty-honey tones which remind me a lot of Chenin Blanc. Today’s 2017 offering from Sauska winery has a deep pocket of cold minerality, filled in with the best of summer and fall: yellow apples, speckled pears, and crumbles of toasted walnut. For $16, we dare you to find a better Chenin Blanc… I mean Furmint!

Happy Drinking,
