Notes from Juice Imports:

"Franz has taken on the lofty goal of returning Furmint to its homeland: Burgenland, Austria. Many of the sites now planted to international varieties were once planted with Furmint, and according to Franz’s research it was once revered. After grafting over old vines, and planting new vineyards in fallow but historic sites, his work really begins. This cuvée comes from Kalkofen Vineyard in Ritzing. It is planted on limestone, once used in lime kilns. The grapes were destemmed and pressed into large barrel. After several months on lees and malolactic conversion the wine is racked, sulphured, and bottled."
