The latest vintage of Furmint from one of the estate’s most outstanding basalt-rich sites, the Templomdombi vineyard. The 2015-planted parcel is composed of three different clones that complement each other beautifully in the final blend. The grapes are directly pressed, then fermented and aged for 12 months in stone vessels.

A deeply flavoured, textural wine that works particularly well as a food companion, balancing ripeness with mineral depth and volume.
