Character: |
The year 2012, although it produced some good Aszu, did not warrant the usual hand selection of botrytis-affected berries. Entire bunches were harvested, partially containing both Aszú berries as well as some naturally dried berries. The high sugar content of 173 g/L is enhanced by rich tropical fruits and flowery aromas. Sweet "Beerenauslese" with a pronounced botrytis taste. In the background are tropical fruits, quince, and the aroma of wild flowers. Very young. |
Soil: |
Clay topsoil, with volcanic, high lime, iron subsoil containing rhiolite, trachyte, andesite and zeolite substances. Moisture is present in tufa rocks. Added soil compounds laid down through ancient fumaroles, lend a powerfully rich, complex minerality to the wine. |
Cellar technology: |
A high percentage of the botrytis affected berries on the bunches resulted in an excellent crop. After a short maceration and pressing, the juice was fermented at low temperature in steel tanks. |
Storage: |
At a constant temperature of 12.8°C and 80% humidity, in small 135-L oak Tokaj casks. Followed by nine months resting time in casks. Purification and completion effected by bottling in July 2014. |
Lifespan: |
Drink before 2030 |
Closure: |
