Furmint is an indigenous white grape variety, deeply connected to the history and tradition of Rust. In 1681, the citizens of Rust acquired city rights in exchange for a delivery of 500 buckets of Furmint Ruster Ausbruch and 60,000 gold guilders. Before the phylloxera epidemic, Furmint was the most widely planted white grape variety in the region.

It is a living heritage that continues to be cultivated and cherished in Rust today.
