Tasting Notes
A single site dry Furmint from the south-facing Palandor vineyard - it was classified as a first growth back in the 18th century! Figs leaves, a hint of musk, quince and pear compote, dried apricots, with a lightly nutty palate and waxy element. Exotic cardamon, lime zest and white pepper - wet river stones and hint of smoke. Something slightly Riesling like about it (after all, they are related) and perhaps even Chenin too. Lovely with pork and apple.
More Info
Old friends of Swig, Szilvia Karádi and Zsolt Berger (hence the name) basket press all the grapes for their minuscule production from the Palandor and Naransci vineyards. Mostly Furmint, but with small parcels of Hárslevelű, they keep their yields low and the cool aspect of their sites ensure the wines always have fantastic acidity to balance the late-harvest richness. These are the sort of wines that make you double take, well worth taking a punt on!
