Disznókő – Dorgó Tokaji Aszú 6 puttonyos 2015

Winemaking

Summer 2015 was hot and dry, and the Furmint was already ripe by early September. Due to the dry weather the Botrytis appeared slowly and subtly on the grapes that then shrivelled perfectly. We carried out three tries to select aszú berries in the Dorgó vineyard, and this lot is from the richest selection, the first. We macerated the aszú berries in fermenting must for about 3 days and then fermented the lot in stainless steel after pressing. Following fermentation the wine was put immediately into the barrel where it is still aging after being racked twice.

Wine tasting

“Youthful in colour, pale gold. Powerful nose, fresh with very rich fruit notes though still not quite settled. Apricot, pear, lively oakiness, tobacco, roasted coffee, chamomile. The acids are beautifully present in the mouth alongside the sugar content. Warm tones, a rather modest acidity, a soft frame for the flavourful fruit character. It has balance and is among the rounder, warmer Aszú wines. A true fruit bomb close to exploding.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
