Description
Nádor's "Himmelsbett" Furmint 2018 impressively demonstrates the great potential of the Furmint grape variety outside of its classic sweet wine role. The vineyards benefit from mineral-rich soils that give the wine tension, depth, and an exceptional structure. Nádor pursues a precise, terroir-driven approach, where origin and vintage are clearly paramount.
The 2018 vintage presents itself as generous yet remarkably focused. The Furmint combines ripe fruit with vibrant acidity and a striking mineral tension. Despite its concentration, the wine never feels heavy, but always remains elegant and precise. It is precisely this combination of power, freshness, and structure that makes the "Himmelsbett" particularly characterful and distinctive.
The aging process lends the wine additional depth and complexity without masking its origin. As a result, the Furmint shows an impressive balance between ripeness and precision. The result is a distinctive, sophisticated white wine with a long, mineral-driven finish and excellent aging potential.
This is what to expect when drinking
The wine presents itself as complex and multi-layered on the nose. Ripe yellow fruits are reminiscent of quince, pear, and mirabelle plum, accompanied by delicate herbal notes, subtle hints of spice, and a pronounced mineral freshness. With a little air, additional nuances of honey, flint, and dried blossoms develop.
On the palate, the Furmint reveals itself as both powerful and precise. The ripe fruit is supported by a lively acidity that lends the wine freshness and tension. Its pronounced minerality provides structure and depth, while the elegant texture and long, salty finish create an exceptionally harmonious overall impression.
This wine is an excellent culinary companion to roasted pike-perch, turbot, or sea bass. It also pairs wonderfully with veal, poultry in light sauces, or aged hard cheese. Its mineral tension and precise acidity also make it an ideal accompaniment to sophisticated dishes of modern cuisine.
