Tokaji Aszú 6 puttonyos, 2013

ARCHÍV!

The aszú berries were collected from several first class vineyards and then soaked in still fermenting must produced by pressing healthy and shrivelled berries. The length of soaking is decided by tasting but it never exceeds 24 hours. To achieve topmost quality all the juice gained after pressing is used without any dilution. Fermented and aged in used 220 liter barrels for at least 2 years.

A wine worth taking your time with; the nose reveals layer after layer of aromas. First flowers then mangoes, papaya and dried apricots which return on the palate as well. This aszú of lemon yellow hue is sophisticated and refreshing despite its considerable weight. Round with a good depth of flavour supported by vibrant acidity and rounded off with a long finish.

And what’s more it has won GOLD medal at Challenge International du Vin in 2018.
