Szepsy Úrágya Furmint 2015

DSC_1440

Vintage evaluation: The year 2015 started with a mild winter followed by a balanced weather spring. After a warm and dry summer that helped the ripening of the bunches the late autumn was rather cold and rainy. The vintage resulted in concentrated wines with relatively high acidity but with good balance and a good potential for aging.
Vineyard: Planted in the mid-1960’s, close to the village of Mád. Quite a steep site and with bedrock soil and red clay it doesn’t make life easy, especially not reaching the site after heavy rain. Most of the vines planted are Furmint, but a fifth is Hárslevelű, planted primarily in 1964.
Varietal: Furmint
Origin: Úrágya vineyard, Mád village
Alcohol: 14,0%
Residual sugar:1,3 g/l
Extract: 20,9g/l
Acidity: 6,4 g/l
Produced: 3858 bottles
Matured: 6 months in 400 l big Hungarian oak (30% new oak)

Medium nose. White chocolate, oak, floral, rose petal, light petrol, slightly volatile, and citrus.
