Grof Degenfeld 2013 Furmint, TOkaj, Hungary (Pat D.)
Try this new Hungarian selection, an off-dry white wine made from the Furmint grape, which has been growing in the Tokaj region since at least the late 16th century. Furmint can make bone dry wines or extremely sweet dessert wines depending on when it is harvested. This delicate, off-dry version has high acidity which nicely balances the sweetness and makes it an excellent pairing for seafood, sushi and spicy dishes.
