TOKAJICUM Tokaji Furmint 'Vizsla' 2023
Couldn't load pickup availability
A Tokaji Furmint featuring a unique label that celebrates the Hungarian Vizsla. This volcanic vintage shows a joyous side of Tokaj's signature white wine.
The wine undergoes partial tank fermentation to preserve the delightful fruitiness of the hand-harvested fresh grapes, followed by a period of barrel aging to enhance depth and refinement.
It boasts an appealing nose of white-fleshed fruits and honeyed notes. The smooth, creamy palate is dominated by flavours of peach and pear, elegantly complemented by buttery, toasty notes from the barrel ageing. The Furmint grapes provide excellent structure, built around a vibrant acidic backbone, leading to a long, mineral finish.
What is Furmint?
Furmint is Hungary's flagship white grape and is the backbone of the world-renowned Tokaj wine region. Known for its high acidity and remarkable ability to express terroir, it produces wines with exceptional aging potential.
Grown in Tokaj's mineral-rich volcanic soils, Furmint thrives in the region's unique climate, where it can be crafted into a wide range of styles—from elegant, mineral-driven dry wines to lusciously sweet Szamorodni and the legendary Tokaji Aszú.
