The white wine Füleky Furmint, vintage 2019 from the winery Füleky has been rated in 2023 by Wojciech Bońkowski with 91 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Furmint from the region Tokaj
Although critical excitement and high scores focus on single-vineyard Furmints, all wineries live off blended estate wines. Nowhere is a “Birtok” Furmint as solid and exciting as at Füleky, an impeccably run estate in Bodrogkeresztúr with enviable track record. This is simply a lovely rendition of this quirky Hungarian grape, concentrated and finely detailed, bursting with ripe orchard fruits framed by razor-sharp acidity and spice. With almost no oak in sight, this is delicious to drink now in its youth, though Füleky also sell a lovely 2014 to illustrate the ageing potential.
