Aszú 5 Puttonyos, 2008

This is the aszú category at Tokaj-Hétszőlő where the weight of the aszú berries used almost equals the volume of freshly pressed must which is used for maceration. The wine is concentrated, round and full-bodied. On the other hand thanks to the loess soil the wine still shows elegance and smoothness. This wine comes from the Tokaj-Hétszőlő Imperial Estate whose origin dates back to 1502 to the Hétszőlő Vineyard where 7 parcels of land based on loess soil were assembled.

Shiny golden color, rich and oily texture. Fresh complex nose with apricots, citrus fruit and some melon accompanied by nuts.  Rich, full bodied palate with dried fruit, walnut, followed by a hint of caramel and vanilla. The high sugar levels are balanced by the crisp acidity.
