The name Furmint is taken from the French word "froment" for the wheat‐gold color of the wine it produces. Hárslevelű is the second most planted grape in the Tokaji region and is usually blended and will add spice and delicate notes of elderflower. Kabar is a cross between Hárslevelű and Bouvier, it is an indigenous grape from Tokaji and it has been authorized in the appellation since 2006. It is ideally suited to make dessert wines, it is a low yielding varietal and usually produces highly concentrated wines with great acidity. Sarga Muskotaly (Yellow Muscat) is one of three grapes used to make the famous Tokaji Aszú wine along with Furmint and Hárslevelű. Affinitás is fermented in stainless steel tanks. The Kabar and a portion of the Furmint were matured in Hungarian oak barrels to impair the richness and body to the wine. The rest of the Furmint, Yellow Muscat and Hárslevelű were kept in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh and crispy character. Tasting Notes: Color: Bright yellow with green hues. Nose: Intense and elegant nose with white flowers and spice, showing great minerality. Palate: Fresh and balanced, summer fruits and spice, it is unctuous, with great level of acidity.
