Zsirai Tokaji Dry Furmint

From the importer - "Established in 2005, this family-owned winery is managed by sisters Petra and Kata Zsirai, along with their mother. Based in the town of Mád in the Tokaj region of Hungary, the family also owns vineyards in Villány and Somló with a total of approximately 15 hectares. Production includes the famous Aszú wines from Tokaj, as well as dry Furmint and Hárslevelű. In Villány, in the far south, a light, fruit-forward red from the Kadarka grape is produced.  The Zsirai family is experimenting with organic practices; all wines are spontaneously fermented using native yeasts and no herbicides are used.  This is their debut in the North American market!"

This wine is made from 100% Furmint. Vinified in barrel with natural yeasts, the wine was aged for 8 months in 220 liter Hungarian oak barrels. Light and crisp, it has bracing acidity and refreshing flavours of stone fruit and fresh citrus zest.
