Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Šipon is the Slovenian Styrian name for Furmint, and Dveri-Pax, the estate near Maribor run with the Admont Benedictines, makes it as a dry, mineral white. Quince, green pear and lemon with a smoky, almond-tinged edge, a firm backbone of acidity and a textured finish. Furmint's acidity gives it a few years of development toward honeyed, nutty notes.
Serving: Serve at 9–11 °C.
