Dveri-Pax Sipon 2021 (Admont Abbey)

Dry, fruity, exotic – Furmint from Slovenia

Fresh and full of character, this wine has just won a silver medal and 91 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards.

Furmint is the oldest grape variety in Slovenian Styria. It has been cultivated in Slovenia for a very long time. The local name – Šipon (‘sheep’) – developed when French soldiers occupying the region tasted it and commented, ‘Mhmm, cest si bon’.

The 2019 vintage from the Dveri-Pax winery has a light, lemon-yellow colour. The aroma is delicately pronounced with beautiful floral accents reminiscent of a walk in blooming vineyards. The classic Furmint notes – ripe pears, yellow apples – are more pronounced. Elegant, fruity, very inviting.

On the palate, it is dry, typically Šipon, with moderate acidity. Mineral and slightly salty flavours emerge on the palate. It is surprising how long the flavours last for a light, fresh wine. It is an excellent aperitif choice. After the 2016 vintage, this is another classic Furmint from the Dveri-Pax winery.
