Franz views Furmint as the white equivalent to Blaufrankisch, a wine built on the backbone of high acidity. Furmint performs very well in Austria (albeit on different soils to those of Hungary which tend to have a volcanic basis).
A touch of cinnamon on the nose, floral of white flowers, fresh limes. Nothing exuberant, nothing bawling. Pure happiness on the palate, finely structured, salty, crisp acidity, precise and clear, like a mountain creek. Again subtle cinnamon notes, citrus potpourri.
