Single vineyard wine from the Mestervölgy historical vineyard, Tarcal village (Mestervölgy = Master valley).

Playful, flowery nose, not what you would call a typical Furmint. On the palate nice acidity with a hint of minerality, a bit higher alcohol feeling. The minerality goes further, and with time fruit emerges from the background with notes of white-flesh fruit and slightly unripe winter pear. The finish is long and nicely mineral, with lingering winter pear notes.

Recommended serving temperature: 8-10 °C.

 

Serving suggestion:

• because of its mineraly notes it would go well with the fatty, ripe soft cheeses
• could be well paired with fragrant taste seafood: oyster, crab, those which are having their individual tastes
• risotto / pasta with brown crab meat
• tighter flesh style fishes (monkfish roasted in dried ham)
• would be nice with a tabbouleh with couscous / bulghur
• here could also come mezzes from Middle East
