Furmint from Hungary is a wine that many people don’t try, why? its probably because its from hungary and not cheap.

This is a deep wine, golden in colour, aromas and in taste. There’s honey, pear, almonds and ripe citrus with smokeyness, oakyness and a thickness of texture that makes this pretty different. Its not for everyone and the ripeness of the fruit and smokeyness is a little over powering. It got a Bronze in the 2019 Decanter World Wine Awards which is right on the mark.

Its about £25 a bottle, which is expensive for what it is. There are cheaper Furmints out there that are are as good and better AND cheaper.
