Slightly smoky and waxy nose evocative of lamp oil with some nice ripe stone fruits with just a hint of a bitter edge. There's a bit of fat on this but it's in a very nice place and can handle rather unusual pairings that bring sweet and umami together.

"Verus" means true, real, genuine and unpretentious. That is exactly what three friends - Božidar, Rajko and Danilo - set out to make in Ormož. Turning a bakery into a winery was quite the attention-grabbing move in 2007, but has brought them the benefit of exporting their remarkable wines to more than 60 different countries. Šipon or internationally acclaimed Furmint is a helluva grape. Many people know it from sweet Tokaj, but if you haven't tried a dry, unoaked version, you're missing out big time. Verus takes pride in it as its flagship wine with aromas of ripe peach, apricot pit, green apple, wax and a bit of petrol. Medium (+) body which can appear overwhelming if drunk solo, so please pair it with some proper food. This wine is beggin' ya for it.

Straightforward steel tank fermented Furmint. Nice freshness but maybe better a year ago.

Monthly tasting club LTC 2019-01 Kroatia: Smoky and stinky bouquet. On the palate minerals, vanilla, fresh acidity and dry.
