Furmint

White Grape Variety
Romanian Wines - Furmint
Furmint is a white grape variety, particularly renowned for its pivotal role in producing Tokaji wines from Hungary, one of the oldest and most esteemed wine regions globally. This variety is celebrated for its unique ability to produce a wide range of wines, from dry and mineral to sweet and intensely aromatic, like the famous Tokaji Aszú, a noble sweet wine affected by Botrytis cinerea (noble rot) Wines made from Furmint are distinguished by their high acidity, providing remarkable freshness and good aging potential. Characteristic aromas of Furmint include notes of white fruits, flowers, honey, and, in the case of wines matured or affected by Botrytis cinerea, complex shades of dried fruits, figs, and spices.
