GRAPES VARITETIES: Furmint, Zéta and Sárgamuskotály
TASTING NOTES: Aszú 5 Puttonyos is a wine aimed at representing the best balance between acidity and sweetness that the vintage can offer. In this sense, it is the perfect wine to store and later compare vintages in vertical tastings. The phenomenon of overripening characterizes this 2018 vintage, with floral and fruity aromas. The contribution of the Botrytis cinerea fungus is much lower than usual in Tokaj.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Foie gras | Stewed figs | Cheese
