"Highly skilled winemaking and long ageing have given birth to this memorable nectar: enhance your meal, or enjoy it on its own".
"Honeyed apricots, juicy grapefruit and stewed figs meet on the palate of this beautifully balanced and structured Hungarian dessert wine. The long finish is brilliant, keeping the sweetness in check and leaving you eager for another sip."

Manual
Winemaking
Parcel selection, berry maceration for 2 days to swell, gentle pressing to obtain a high-density must, fermentation in new Hungarian wood barrels (100%) for up to 8 weeks.
Production method
This meticulous process is only possible in exceptional vintages and under conditions that favor Botrytis in the berries (the same process has been used for hundreds of years). Aszù corresponding to dried berries & "puttonyos" meaning "basket", the number before it, here "6", indicating the quantity of 25kg baskets of botrytized grapes added to a 136L "Gönc" barrel of must (unfermented grape juice) - so the higher the number, the higher the sugar content of your Tokaji!
Breeding
For 2 to 3 years in 136 and 200L barrels, then matured in bottles for a further 1 year.
