Wine Description
The colour is glittering mid-yellow. On the nose it shows medium intensity of honey, gingerbread, acacia flowers with touch of caramel. It smells of a ripe Furmint! It is very dry on the palate with firm acidity which adds to the backbone. It has slightly oily texture, medium to full body and plenty of taste. This fuller style of Furmint gets away from aperitif style.

WINEMAKING TRADITION SINCE 1139: At the Dveri-Pax winery in northeastern Slovenia, we are continuing the 800-year-old winemaking tradition of the Admont Benedictine monks - with great respect for nature and a keen sense for trends. Our vineyards cover 73 hectares, and the vintners work with a great respect for nature and tradition as well as a keen sense of trends.
