Vinification
Around 75% of the aszú berries were macerated in a finished wine for half a day. The most shrivelled aszú berries were soaked in a heavily fermenting must for 2days for their skin contact, with several pumping overs. After pressing the fermentation took place in stainless steel vats
Tasting Notes
Golden color. The nose has intense botrytis character with spicy, aromatic herb like dill, citrusy, fresh plum, mint aromas. Very fresh on the palate, with high acidity, but also a rich, powerful wine with good presence in the mouth and with very good length.
Food Pairing
Excellent with a wide range of dishes such as poultry, white meat with creamy sauces, mushroom or seafood risotto. East Asian, slightly spicy dishes such as Thai green curry chicken. With younger, not too salty blue cheeses, simply with some fruits (apricot, pears or fruit salads) or fruit-based desserts
Harvest
The intensely botrytised aszú berries were selected during 3 passages. We started on September 4th for Zéta grapes followed by Furmint grapes on September 18th. We finished the third selective picking on October 29th. The majority of the aszú grapes came from the second selective picking. Each aszúberry was individually picked and then stored in stainless steel vats until vinification
