Furmint is unusually versatile. Dry examples range from crisp, mineral and unoaked to broader, barrel-fermented styles with texture and ageing potential.The grape is also essential for sweet wines, especially botrytised Tokaji styles, where intense sugar is balanced by firm acidity.

Dry Furmint is excellent with roast chicken, pork, freshwater fish, mushrooms, creamy pasta, root vegetables and moderately spicy Asian dishes. Its acidity cuts through richness while its texture handles savoury flavours.Sweet Furmint-based wines pair beautifully with blue cheese, foie gras, fruit desserts, nut pastries and spicy dishes.
