4 Haz, Sparkling Furmint, Tokaj, Hungary, 2020

The ‘4 houses’ sparkling Furmint is made using the Charmat method. Aromatic pear, jasmine blossom and quince on the nose, with almost muscat-like grapey perfume. Residual sugar sits at 11.1g/l, a relatively high level for Brut. Refreshing green apple peel, lime and white pepper spices on the palate, followed by steamed rice on the finish. A lovely fizzy Furmint at an affordable price.
