Chateau Dereszla, Dry Furmint
Furmint – pronounced “four-mint” so nothing to do with a lost Polo found at the bottom of a coat pocket… unless you have more than 3 of them – is one of the principle grape varieties of the famous sweet wine of Hungary: Tokaji (rhymes with “och aye”).

Rather than when making sweet Tokaji, Furmint grapes are harvested earlier, before the famous noble rot that creates the sweet wine, and all of the natural sugars are allowed to ferment into alcohol. The result is a dry wine with some of the depth (and just a hint of residual sugar) that characterises its more famous counterpart.
Plenty of rich spicy apricot fruit and lovely mineral freshness, this wine is produced using hand-harvested grapes from vines planted on the volcanic soils of the Lapis vineyard. It’s a great match for paté and warm crusty bread or mushroom dishes such as Mushroom Stroganoff. It’s also great with smoked fish.
