Pajzos Tokaj – Hosszúvölgy Tokaji Aszú 6 puttonyos 2014

Winemaking

We macerated the aszú berries for 24 hours in still main phase fermenting must with high sugar content before pressing. After two months it was put into a tank while the alcohol and sugar content reached the desirable levels. We carried out winemaking treatments at this stage so it was totally “clean” when it reached the barrel. The barrel use is purely for the aging and development of the wine’s balance. It has been in Zemplén oak barrels since April 2015.

Winetasting

“Clear in colour, youthful. Rich nose that has not yet settled, but an abundance of spice and fruits can be felt in it. Plant notes, plenty of Botrytis with a touch of herbs. The presence of the refined acids immediately presents itself in the mouth, this is a vibrant and truly lively wine. The sugar is by no means exaggerated; this has excellent balance. As the acids are very lively, a subtle youthful character overarches the whole wine. Notes typical of the cooler vintage can be felt throughout the aromatics, this is an exciting yet elegant wine, complex, modern and conscious with the restrained barrel presence in the mouth.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
