Vogelsang is a single vineyard in the Neusiedlersee Huegelland town of Rust, a mildly climbing hillside with southeast exposure. The light and stony soil, on a bed of slate and granite/gneiss shows itself of primary importance in giving the Furmint an extra bit of aromatic depth and much finesse.
The characteristically smoky tone of the variety exhibits wonderfully pearsy notes spiced with lime-zest.
There's no wood-tones evident, but the creamy texture of the wine suggests that it benefited from studious months spent in old wood. Shows the great concentration of many 08ers, without some of the green tannins that the red wines occasionally carry.
