Disznoko Tokaji Dry Furmint 2023 (750ml)

Furmint is best known as the backbone of Tokaj's famous sweet wines, but in its dry form it makes a bright, mineral-edged white, and that is the register Disznoko works in here. This 2023 bottling from the Tokaj region of Hungary is built entirely from Furmint, fermented and aged four months on its fine lees in stainless steel, a method that adds a little texture while keeping the fruit clean and unoaked.

The nose is fresh and lifted, all citrus and tart peach with a sappy, herbal edge running underneath. On the palate it sits in the lighter-to-medium range, balanced and easygoing rather than weighty, the kind of white that works as an aperitif or moves comfortably to the dinner table. Good to enjoy in its youth.
