Barta Öreg Király Vineyard Furmint Late Harvest, 2018

Mostly shrivelled grapes were picked at a very high Brix due to the character of the vintage. Bunches were lightly crushed and then gently pressed before fermentation in a stainless steel tank. The wine spent 6 months in new and 2nd-fill Zemplén oak barrels. Straw yellow in colour, it shows an oily texture as the legs slide down the glass slowly. A hint of citrus on the nose is complemented by mango and apricot aromas. Apricot dominates the taste as well and the wine melts in your mouth almost like sugar candy, flooding it with tonnes of playful flavours. A persistent finish lingering for minutes.
