Product Notes

Sauska Furmint Birsalmás wine is a pristine Hungarian offering, hailing from the renowned Tokaj region. The wine, with Furmint as its grape, offers an exquisite structure, ripe with luscious, juicy fruit flavours, complemented by a palate-teasing minerality. This wine’s high acidity delivers a wonderfully refreshing experience, with balanced sugar content amplifying its charm. The pronounced notes of quince, for which Birsalmás is named, shine through in every sip. Its finish is delightfully lengthy, leaving a lingering trace of alluring flavours. This medium-bodied wine proves to be a delicious representation of Tokaji's unique terroir.

Tasting Notes

An amazingly complex wine. Pineapple and pear lead the aromas with hints of mint. The palate shows richness and depth, with creamy notes and pistachio nuts, balanced with an amazing fresh streak of acidity. An outstanding example of what the Furmint grape can achieve as a dry wine.
