	Furmint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Furmint is a variety of wine grape from the Pontian Balcanica branch of Vitis vinifera, used for white wines.
		The name Furmint is taken from the word "froment" for the wheat-gold color of the wine it produces.
		Furmint is most widely grown in Hungary, particularly in the Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region where it is used to produce single-varietal dry wines as well as being the principal grape in the better known Tokaji dessert wines.

	Tokaji (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Furmint is the grape of Hungarian Aszu Tokaji, one of the world's most illustrious dessert nectars.
		Nowadays, only four grape varieties are officially approved for use in wines bearing the Tokaj name: Furmint, Hárslevelü (Slovak: Lipovina), Yellow Muscat (Hungarian: Sárgamuskotály, Slovak: ltý mukát) and Zéta, a crossing of Furmint and Bouvier.
		Of these, Furmint accounts for 70% of the area under vine and is by far the most important grape in the production of aszú wines.

		Oremus is also the name of a grape variety (also called Zéta), a cross of Furmint and Bouvier developed in the mid-20th century that is one of the few varieties allowed under cultivation in Tokaj and to become part of Tokaji Aszú.
		Furmint is one of the most important varieties used to make Tokaji Aszú (it makes up an average of about 40% of the blend) and recently it is being coddled as a dry white with some promise.
		Oremus Mandulás Furmint 2001 is a light straw yellow-green with a tart green apple nose alongside light oak tones and a bit of yeast.

		But Tokay in Hungary is made primarily from a grape called furmint which is not related to pinot gris or the pinot grigio in Italy.
		Furmint in Hungary and tocai friulano in Italy may or may not be related and each country argues that they used the name first.
		But some time after the turn of the 20th Century, furmint was replaced by sauvignon vert in the vineyards but winemakers still bottled under the old name.

	Food for dry Furmint (Austrian) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		As a dry wine, Furmint is typically full-bodied and acidic (think of a Chardonnay with muscles), with bold flavors that the British wine journalist Jancis Robinson describes as "fiery." Robinson, who among other things is a leading wine-grape expert, also advises that Furmint be drunk up while it's young and fresh.
		Furmint typically shows quite some acid, is heavy (14% is quite common) and sports forward aromas (hence the aperitif preference).
		The flavor of that final one, the pumpkin, is a favorite pairing of mine- might not be the season for full-on pumpkin, but if you have a bottle of Krbiskern￶l (that's the pumpkin seed oil) I would incorporate it into a salad dressing of some sort, or with your soup.

	Wine of the Month Club
		Furmint is the noblest and most important grape variety in the Tokaj wine district.
		Furmint also has the age-old attribute of developing the secondary characteristics that wine connoisseurs refer to as complexity.
		A bright straw color, a fresh intense nose of spice mingled with the haunting scent of peach blossoms, followed by dry racy flavors render the Oremus Tokaji one of the most intriguing white wines of the year.

		By his standards, the wine in question is a darn good one, especially considering its $8.99 price tag.
		Furmint is the grape, Tokaji the region or origin, and Mandolas the vineyard; the resulting wine is rich, dry, and potently acidic, with minerality reminiscent of a good Sancerre.
		The Tokaji region produces Hungary's most famous wine, the sweet Aszu; turns out Furmint represents about 70% of the plantings in the region and figures prominently in those amazing wines.

		Oremus 1999 "Mandolás" Tokaji Furmint Dry ($8.99) A year or two on the shelf adds richness and complexity.
		Let's wrap up the work week with a quick trip down another of wine's less-traveled byways: Furmint ("Foor-mint"), the white grape best-known as a major player in Hungary's great dessert wine Tokaji ("Toe-kay"), turns up occasionally as a dry white wine in Hungary and neighboring parts of Austria.
		Furmint is an obvious candidate for dessert wine because its thin skin makes it a receptive host for Botrytis cinerea, the beneficial mold called "noble rot" that randomly infests some late-harvested grapes, causing them to shrink and dry so the natural sugars become highly concentrated, producing intensely sweet wine.
