Furmint is a captivating grape variety that has earned its place among the great white wines of Europe. Most famously associated with Hungary’s Tokaj region, it’s known for producing wines with a firm, refreshing backbone and a distinctive mineral edge. The grape tends to deliver flavours such as ripe pear, green apple and citrus, often with a gentle floral lift. Depending on how it’s vinified, you may also notice hints of honey or toasted nuts, particularly in styles made with more time on the lees or in richer, riper seasons.

One of Furmint’s standout qualities is its natural acidity, which helps the wine stay lively even when it develops deeper complexity. That makes it a brilliant choice for food pairing, from roasted poultry and creamy pasta dishes to fresh fish and vegetable-based meals. Many Furmint wines also age well, gradually revealing layers of spice and dried fruit without losing their freshness.

If you enjoy white wines that feel both elegant and structured, exploring a Furmint from the Grapes range is a great way to discover a classic style with plenty of character.
