Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos, 2013

Shrivelled and botrytized, highly concentrated Furmint and Hárslevelű aszú berries were mashed into a chutney-like consistency and macerated in a dry base wine for one month. Then, it was racked into neutral Hungarian oak barrels, followed by 24 months of ageing before bottling. Then few years of additional bottle aging in the cellar.

Showing a deep gold core with amber hues in the glass this wine instantly radiates luxuriously intoxicating aromas: dried quince, yellow mango, apricot liqueur, orange peel, candied nuts, citrus blossoms, fig, raw honey, peach, yellow flowers, baking spice. It may sound absurd, but this Aszú hides its sugar content extraordinarily well, and shows perfect balance thanks to its vibrant acidity.
