Minifestival of Furmints in Košice. Visitors will be able to taste more than 50 furmints from 20 wineries from the whole Tokaj wine region (Hungary and Slovakia), and also furmints from other wine regions. More than 10 wineries are expected to bring their dry Furmints, in addition to other bottles from their portfolios.
According to Tim Atkin MW, furmint is like a white grape supergroup. It’s got it all: the pungent aromatics of Sauvignon Blanc; the richness and oak-friendliness of Chardonnay; the minerality and acidity of Riesling. Somehow it manages to combine all these attributes into one unified whole. Not surprisingly, it is often a pretty intense experience.
Furmint is most widely grown in the Tokaj wine region, also grown in the small Hungarian wine region of Somló, and in Austria where it is known as Mosler. Smaller plantings are found in Slovenia where it is known as Šipon. The grape is also planted in Croatia, Romania and the former republics of the Soviet Union.
