Evolucio Dry Furmint 2013 - CoolVines The Evolucio Furmint is a crisp, vibrant, dry white wine from the Tokaji area of Hungary-famous for its sweet dessert wines. Unoaked, it bursts with citrus and stone fruit notes. Pair with goat cheese, grilled snapper, Thai dishes, and warm weather.

Documented history of the wine region since 1561 attests that grape cultivation as well as the making of Aszu wine has been permanent for centuries. The legal base of delimitation of the wine region is among the first in the world and dates back to 1737 when the decree of Emperor Charles VI (Charles III, King of Hungary) established the area as a closed wine region. There are two basic types of cellar in Tokaj: the vaulted and the excavated.
