Disznókő Aszu 6 Puttonyos 2016 500ml (6 Bottles) Hungary

The blend for the 2015 was 100% Furmint, picked in the second half of the harvest, from the middle of October until the 12th of November. The aszú berries were gently crushed then macerated in a base wine and must of Furmint and Hárslevelű.

After a long pressing, the fermentation took place in stainless steel vats until the middle of December. The wine was then aged in 225 litre oak barrels (25% new), for two years, and bottled with 158 g/L residual sugar.

“Golden amber in the glass, this wine has aromas of wildflower honey, honeycomb and ripe peach. It is velvety smooth in the mouth, with flavors of freshly baked tarte Tatin, peach and canned pear halves. Good acidity balances well with the sweetness.”
