2024 Spatzi Dry Furmint, Tokaj, Hungary

ABOUT THE WINE

Made from 100% Furmint, the flagship white grape of Tokaj, Spatzi’s 2024 vintage highlights the region’s ability to produce structured and racy dry wines in addition to its famed sweet styles. The fruit is sourced from hillside vineyards rooted in volcanic tuff and clay, which provide both tension and a pronounced mineral character. The 2024 season brought healthy, evenly ripened fruit, balancing vibrant acidity with concentrated aromatics.

Grapes are hand-harvested, pressed, and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel to preserve freshness and purity of fruit. A brief period of lees contact adds subtle weight and textural nuance, without compromising the wine’s clean, linear profile.

The resulting wine offers a balance of citrus brightness, orchard-fruit depth, and volcanic minerality—a style that is both refreshing now and structured enough to age for several years.
