Furmint February is a campaign launched by Wines of Hungary UK in the United Kingdom which aims to celebrate and increase awareness of Hungary’s flagship varietal during the whole of February.

Born out of a highly successful and established promotion in Hungary which has been running for over 10 years, Wines of Hungary UK is celebrating Furmint with wine trade and wine lovers in the United Kingdom for the third time in 2021.

Not only delicious dry whites are made of Furmint, but it is also the most important grape behind the renowned sweet wines of Tokaj, the “wine of kings and king of wines”.

Throughout the month of February, importers and retailers are putting Furmint in the spotlight as they embark on activities such as tastings, dinners and special offers, all designed to help wine lovers in the UK taste and learn more about this grape variety.

Caroline Gilby MW says: “One exciting thing about Furmint is its versatility. It has some similarities to Riesling – able to go from bone-dry, crisp and vibrant; to intensely sweet, always with its hallmark steely acidity. At the same time, it has a touch of Chardonnay’s nature about it – capable of fine sparkling wines and able to respond well to oak and malolactic fermentation to give layered complex, almost Burgundian wines. It can offer everything from fine sparklers to complex layered dry wines to world class sweet wines, always underpinned by that streak of appetising acidity.”[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1610447070416{margin-top: 12px !important;margin-bottom: 24px !important;}” anchor=”consumer”][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/512647875″ align=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1610447070416{margin-top: 12px !important;margin-bottom: 24px !important;}” anchor=”consumer”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][eltdf_section_title position=”center” title_tag=”” title_separator=”yes” subtitle_tag=”” title=”Consumer promotion” subtitle=”UK Furmint Lover of the Week 2021″ title_color=”#852174″][vc_column_text]Post a selfie or picture with Furmint, about your Furmint experience on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, mention #furmintfebruary21 to win a case of Furmint each week during February.
