Lellei Furmint highlights the finest characteristics of the grape variety. Its delicate acidity is typical of the variety, but it shows its beauty to such an extent in few wine regions. The nose is complex, with a blend of mango, citrus, and pear. Elegantly light on the palate, its fruitiness is immediately apparent. A dry white sparkling wine with an intense nose, sparkling acidity, and flavours of quince and pear.
This Furmint sparkling wine pairs well with weightier dishes and red meat, but it can also be a pleasant accompaniment to an afternoon or evening conversation, best served chilled at 6-8°C.
