Sauska Birsalmás Furmint 2021

Delicious fruitiness and creaminess of William pear, candied lemon and Catalan cream. The taste is lively, explosive and multi-layered, the freshness of furmint shines through the beautifully creamy texture of the oak barrel aging and lasts until the end of the long sip.

James Suckling 93 points.
