Tokaji Aszú 5 puttonyos, 2016

A traditional, golden colour, naturally sweet wine from Tokaj. Due to the lower residual sugar content and crispy acidity it is an easier to drink, „light style” Aszú, that has proven to be really popular among dry wine lovers too. Apricot and tropical fruits dominate the nose besides the aromas coming from botrytis and oak barrel aging. Relatively high acidity is balanced with the residual sugar content. Long finish and aging potential.

Perfect to drink in itself, as an aperitif but also to accompany meals. Highly recommended with nutty desserts like Gerbeaud Cake or salted caramel pecan pie. Outstanding harmony with liver dishes, roast turkey with fruit stuffing, Asian-fusion meals or Peking duck.
