Gilvesy Brut Nature Furmint

Gilvesy farms organically on Szent György-hegy, an extinct volcanic hill overlooking Lake Balaton. Basalt-rich volcanic soils are central to the winery’s style, giving its wines pronounced acidity, mineral tension and characteristic salinity. Gilvesy began producing traditional-method Furmint sparkling wine in 2018.

The wine is 100% Furmint, spontaneously fermented primarily in stainless steel, with a small portion matured for six months in used Hungarian oak. Secondary fermentation takes place in bottle using the traditional method, followed by at least 30 months on lees and zero dosage, preserving Furmint’s naturally bright acidity and dry, mineral character.

Nose: Green apple, fresh brioche and subtle butter with citrus and ripe orchard fruit.

Palate: Bone-dry and energetic, with grapefruit, white peach, pear and crisp acidity balanced by fine lees-derived texture.

Finish: Long and distinctly saline, with lingering citrus and volcanic minerality.
