Description

Petrács is the name of our best vineyard in the village of Tolcsva. The name Petrács comes from the former owner of the site, Baron Ernest von Petrasch, Major General of the Austro-Hungarian Imperial Army, to whom this magical enclave was bestowed in 1762.

The hand-picked grapes are gently pressed and fermented in French and Hungarian oak barrels. The wine is subsequently aged in oak barrels for 5 months, stirring the lees every week (batonnage), before resting undisturbed for a further 4 months. The wine is racked in August and continues to age in stainless steel tanks for a further 6 months before being bottled in February.Full-bodied and spicy, Petrács Furmint is a wine with pure and crystalline mineral flavours. Deep and persistent, it is concentrated and saline on the palate.
