Beautiful golden color. Pear, honey, ginger, a touch of curry powder and dried lemon peel in the nose. Mineral, saline, spicy in the mouth.
Goes well with cheese, fish, chicken, pork, asparagus, goulas! White, dry Furmint loves red food. Try it with dishes with paprika spice, red peppers, tomatoes, radicchio, cherries, cranberries and pomegranate. It’s great with rare duck, charcuterie and bacon too.
