Manuals

Wine making

Selective harvesting, gentle pressing to obtain a high-density must, fermentation in new Hungarian oak barrels (100%) for up to 4 weeks.

Method of preparation

A meticulous process that is only possible in exceptional vintages and conditions that favor Botrytis on the berries (the same process has been used for hundreds of years). Aszù refers to dried berries and "puttonyos" means "basket." The number before it, in this case "3," indicates the number of 25kg baskets of botrytized grapes added to a 136L "Gönc" barrel of must (unfermented grape juice) - So the higher the number, the higher the sugar content in your Tokaji!

Livestock farming

Aged for two years in 136- and 200-liter barrels, then refined in bottles for an additional year.

Alcohol content

11,5%

Residual sugars

140 g/l

Eye

Light golden color, clear and bright

Nose

Fresh and complex, with aromas of candied lemon peel, lime zest, peach, and pear compote, also offering hints of lime blossom, chamomile, and acacia honey.

Mouth

Fresh and intense attack, pleasant acidity with well-integrated sweetness, complementing an already rich aromatic complexity. Flavors of orange zest, vanilla, and fresh almond emerge, making for a deliciously indulgent wine with texture and a long, elegant finish.
