(FOOR-mint) - Hungarian white-wine grape, used to make the renowned dessert wine Tokay (which see).

Widely grown grape in Hungary and used to make the ultra-sweet "Tokaji" white wines. Also grown in Austria where it is known as the white-wine grape Mosler. Smaller plantings are found in Slovenia (former Yugoslavia) where it is known as the Sipon grape.

Furmint is a variety of wine grape from the Pontian Balcanica branch of Vitis vinifera, used for white wines. The name Furmint is taken from the word "froment" for the wheat-gold color of the wine it produces. The origins of the variety are unclear; some believe it came from southern Italy, while others point to Srem.
