A veteran producer of sweet Aszú, Royal have been relatively late to join the single-vineyard dry Furmint bandwagon but when they did, they did so with a bang. From the two current bottlings, I minimally prefer Mézes Mály to Szt. Tamás because it is rare to taste such a complete, structured Furmint from pure loess soils. The 2019 vintage shows extra brilliance through its combination of zesty lemon oil and floral elegance, alongside crunchy minerality. Great value.
