Evolucio - Furmint

2021

Furmint, Harslevelu

Tokaj

As the weather warms and flowers continue to bloom, we can’t think of a more perfect wine for the month of May! The Evoucio is a blend of 85% dry, crisp Furmint and 15% of richly flavored Harslevelu. From Tojak, Hungary this winery borders Slovakia and Ukraine and has the world's oldest classification system (beginning in 1730!). The grapes are hand harvested and destemmed from different vineyards all 150-250 meters above sea level. Volcanic soils help them retain heat and perfectly ripen. They are then fermented in stainless steel to highlight the natural flavors of the grapes. You’ll find a whisper of peach on the nose followed by apricot, orange blossom, lemon, and a hint of almond ton he palate. This versatile wine is perfect for a creamy Tuscan chicken, grilled mackerel, or a spicy lemon garlic pasta.
