What it pairs with

  • Oysters with lemon
    Saline mineral Furmint and oysters share a briny mineral character.
  • Smoked fish pâté
    The wine's saline-mineral precision amplifies smoked fish's own mineral character.
  • Aged sheep's cheese
    Salt and mineral in both wine and cheese create a natural match.

History
