| Unfined and unfiltered furmint bubbles |
This was a broad ranging tasting with much more than could be tasted in one day presented at a well organized walk-around at Painters’ Hall in London courtesy of Wines of Hungary.
This time I decided to focus on still 100% dry furmint wines, leaving aside the sweet ones which I had had occasions to taste in the past.
Below are my notes from the most interesting glasses of furmint I had a chance to taste today.
Garamvari Estate
2019 Balaton sparkling: zesty, fresh, ready now but with some potential for evolution. Score 86
2016 Tokaji sparkling: fragrant, evolved and mature. Score 89
