The 2024 Rosi Schuster Furmint is a distinctive Austrian white wine from Burgenland, produced by Weingut Rosi Schuster. Crafted from Furmint, a traditional Central European grape variety, this wine reflects the region's diverse soils and continental climate. Its anticipated aromas reveal crisp green apple, ripe pear, white peach and fresh lemon, complemented by delicate notes of white flowers, dried herbs and subtle stony minerality.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and a finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of juicy pear, green apple, grapefruit and yellow plum unfold alongside hints of citrus zest, almond and gentle savoury spice. Its bright orchard-fruit character is balanced by mineral freshness and elegant structure, leading to a dry, persistent finish with lingering citrus and herbal notes.

At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who appreciate distinctive European white wines with refreshing acidity, mineral complexity and refined texture. The 2024 Rosi Schuster Furmint offers an intriguing alternative to dry Riesling or Chardonnay, combining expressive orchard fruit with citrus freshness and savoury elegance. A suggested drinking window is 2026–2032, with further development possible under suitable cellaring conditions. Serve lightly chilled at approximately 9–11°C. Particularly well suited to grilled barramundi, garlic prawns, roast chicken with herbs, mushroom risotto, seafood pasta or aged Comté cheese.
