Description
- 2013 was a very good vintage, yielding a harvest of high quality aszú berries completely interwoven by botrytis.
- The base wine is mainly Furmint and Hárslevelű. Aszú berries were added to the fermenting base wine, soaked for 24 hours, then cold-settled for 2 days. The wine was tank-fermented, then matured in first and second-fill 5 hectolitre barrels made by three different Hungarian coopers.
- It has a highly complex fragrance with botrytis due to the aszú berries, orange peel and brittle, figs and exotic flowers, with a hint of dill at the end. Very pure fruity flavour upon tasting, with orange, quince and pear. The palate finishes with a lime and grapefruit flourish at the end, leaving a matured, round mouthfeel.

- Unique features: Autochtonous varieties. The grape berries on the cluster develop at a different rate. The shrivelled aszú berries are selected one by one, each by hand. Only skilled harvesters are able to find them. They pass through the differently located vineyards two to four times to catch each aszú berry at its optimal state.
- This incredibly time-consuming selection method guarantees the best quality for our wines. Aszú harvesting is possibly the most labour-intensive harvest in the world – harvesters can pick a mere 6-10kg a day.
