The 2024 Moric Furmint Hárslevelű is an elegant Austrian white wine from Burgenland, produced by acclaimed winemaker Roland Velich of Weingut Moric. Combining Furmint and Hárslevelű, two traditional Central European grape varieties, this wine offers a distinctive balance of vibrant acidity, aromatic complexity and refined texture. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe pear, green apple, white peach and lemon zest, complemented by delicate notes of honeysuckle, fresh herbs and subtle stony minerality.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with lively acidity and a finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of juicy pear, yellow apple, white nectarine and grapefruit unfold alongside hints of citrus blossom, almond and gentle spice. Furmint contributes freshness and structure, while Hárslevelű adds floral character and softness. The finish is dry and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of citrus peel, orchard fruit and delicate mineral notes.
