Long live Furmint! This typical Hungarian variety is now experiencing, thanks to winemakers like István Bencze, its renaissance and gaining worldwide admiration. In 2015, István decided to plant three different Furmint clones, each of which has its own distinctive character, the resulting wine is a combination of all three. Harvesting takes place in three waves - at different stages of maturity. This is followed by direct pressing of the whole grapes, and then the juice goes into clay amphorae, in which it spontaneously ferments and matures on the lees for 9 months. The most energetic amphorae are matured and bottled as pure Furmint, the others go into our favorite cuvée Autochton. Expect notes of limes, white pepper, green tea and a good dose of minerality.

Near Lake Balaton around Szent György-hegy you will find the Hungarian legendary biodynamic winery, which was founded in 2011 by István Bencze. It manages about 20 hectares of old and newly planted vineyards organically, emphasizing both the local typical varieties (Furmint, Hárslevelű or Kéknyelű) and the newly bred varieties with which it likes to experiment. In terms of processing, its wines are not clarified, filtered or sulfurized. Most of the wines underwent at least a short maceration on the skins and matured in various clay amphorae.

He is a winemaker who enjoys a huge response in the world, so we are very happy to be able to introduce and offer him here. And no wonder! His wines are among those that no lover of natural wines should miss, not to mention the design of his labels, which are a work of art in itself.
