WINE MAKING PROCESS
Mad Furmint Szaraz is produced by Mad Wine Kft. in Tokaj, Hungary. The winemaking process emphasizes the dry expression of the Furmint grape. Grapes are likely fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures to preserve freshness and varietal character. Aging typically occurs in stainless steel, with potential for neutral oak influence depending on the specific wine, to develop complexity while retaining terroir-driven notes. Harvest is carefully timed to achieve optimal ripeness. The producer's approach is rooted in highlighting the volcanic terroir of Mád. Some vineyards associated with the producer employ biodynamic practices.
