Disznókö Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos Kapi Vineyard (500 ml)
Disznókö is one of the most famous producers of sweet Tokaji in the world.
The estate owns only one large vineyard of about 250 acres, classified in 1772 and planted only with local indigenous grape, in particular Furmint. These wines are considered among the best sweet wines in the world, classified in puttonyos according to their residual sugar levels that express at their best the Hungarian tradition and terroir.
The 6 Puttonyos Aszú wines, called the Gold of Hungary, are vinified based on a method dating back to the seventeenth century. Harvested by hand on several passes through the “Kapi Vineyard”. The aszú berries were stored in stainless steel until vinification. These grapes were macerated, unpressed, in a fermenting must for 60 hours.
”To me, the wines of 2005 are like watching a firework display: explosive, bright, colorful and vibrant. This vintage is focussed with a deep structure together with bright, lively acidity. As many of our wines, they show both great intensity and power. A truly classic year for Tokaj.” – László Mészáros
