Winemaking: The aromas, flavours and structures of the Aszú from three varieties vary greatly. However, the nature, quality and handling of the aszú berries was basically the same. The aszú berries of 2013 were strongly botrytised and very concentrated, many exceptional quality aszú berries developed. Half of each of the three lots was macerated in fermenting must, half in wine. After pressing they were fermented together. After about one-and-a-half year’s barrel aging they had become outstanding lots for the blending of Disznókő Aszú wines but we retained a barrel of each that we will bottle after the auction.
Wine tasting: “This lot is a true curiosity: if someone would like to get to know the vintage character through Aszú, this is an ideal choice. The individual aromas and flavours, structures and textures even surprise those who regularly taste sweet Tokaji wines.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
Hárslevelű Aszú 2013 – Intensive, refined nose, perhaps the most charming aromas of the three lots. Incredibly lively structure, youthfully vibrant. Citrus flavours, very good balance.
Furmint Aszú 2013 – Pure and defined, exciting nose. Spiciness and sweet pear character. Already complex and smooth in the mouth. Perfection itself. Exciting and long.
Zéta Aszú 2013 – Unique Aszú wine style. Distinctively sweet, slightly perfumed. Infinitely smooth and silky. Creamy, fruit, exciting. Charm and warmth.
