This wonderful Furmint, a grape usually only seen in Hungary or Slovakia, has spent just a few days on skins, veering it into orange wine territory, while the the wine has also gone through full malolactic fermentation for 6 months in French oak barrels.

The resulting wine is wonderfully creamy and buttery, with just a touch of added structure and delicate tannins from the skin contact.
