Furmint vom Kalk
How does Biodyn taste, how does natural wine taste? How does love for nature, for life and for wine taste? Like that, it tastes just like that! Elegance, beauty and, yes, avantgarde bundled in a bottle.
Consequence, meticulousness and perfect craftsmanship are the prerequisites for
bringing such delicacies into the bottle.
2018 Furmint “vom Kalk” reminds me a lot of the dry Furmint from Somló. If I did not know better, I would say that this wine tastes like Hungary. A touch of cinnamon on the nose, floral of white flowers, fresh limes. Nothing exuberant, nothing bawling. Pure happiness on the palate, finely structured, salty, crisp acidity, precise and clear, like a mountain creek. Again subtle cinnamon notes, citrus potpourri. Grandiose wine. (Risto Rieger)

Tasting note
With golden-yellow vitality, this Furmint flows into the glass. On the nose it initially appears slightly reductive, then opens with fine notes of mandarin, bergamot, wet limestone and delicate chamomile blossom. On the palate, it moves forward with drive and, at the same time, impressive elegance – like a Puch G heading uphill. Fine tannins reminiscent of white tea meet a firm structure, carried by juicy Rubinette apple, a hint of beeswax, ripe Williams pear and the fresh lift of salted lemon. This wine grips the palate, irresistibly invites the next sip, and remains memorably present. A fascinating interpretation of the variety – full of elegance, character and clear sense of place.
