Disznókő Tokaji Inspiration Furmint is a refreshing and mouthfilling dry white Hungarian wine, with a lingering flavour and crisp acidity.

Disznókő’s vineyard diversity is the inspiration behind the production of this wine. The grape varieties used are Furmint (78%)  and Hárslevelű (22%). The Furmint was pressed directly and the majority of Hárslevelű was destemmed and had a few hours of skin contact before pressing.  There was a separate vinification for each lot. Fermentation was then undertaken in barrels of 225 and 500 litres, which were between 2 to 5 years old.

The resultant wines aged in the same type of oak casks as used for the fermentation for a period of 6 months before blending and a further 15 months ageing once in bottle.

The name Disznókő – the rock of the wild boar – was first recorded in 1413. It refers to a large rock sat atop a small hill overlooking the vineyards. Listed as a “first growth” as far back as 1732, this 150ha vineyard in the south west of the Tokaji region is one of the region’s finest.

Enjoy Disznókő Tokaji Inspiration Furmint with savoury dishes like meaty white fish and gamey partridge.

Producer Tasting Notes

Pale gold colour. White fruits, fresh peach on the nose with floral, vegetal hints. Medium bodied with very fresh, ripe acidity. Pleasant texture with a touch of well-integrated oak character. Balanced, finesse, then a good finish with saltiness.
