Vinification:
This is a blend of 85% Furmint and 15% Hárslevelű.
Furmint is one of the traditional varietals used to make Tokaj white wines and Aszù when it is blended with Muscat and Hárslevelű.
The name Furmint is taken from the French word "froment" for the wheat-gold color of the wine it produces.
Evolúció is made from a selection of vineyards especially identified to create a well balanced and food complementing wine.
The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed, pressed gently, fermented cold in stainless steel tanks without further aging. The furmint was selected for its quality from several vineyards and assembled with Hárslevelű to provide the best-balanced blend from this vintage.
Bottled young to retain the freshness and natural richness from the fruits.
