The estate and the wine |

A figure of the Tokaj region, Disznókő is a household name, and its wines rank among the world's greatest sweet wines. All wine lovers know this: the freshness and brilliance of these great Hungarian wines have very few equals, Tokaj remains one of the last bastions in the world capable of sublimating botrytis with such intensity and freshness.
1413 marks the year of the first mention of the Disznókő vineyard on a land register and distinguishes today, as a tribute, this collection of outstanding sweet wines. |

Buoyed by a vintage of beautiful concentration, where botrytis developed intensely, the 2017 White Tokaji Aszú 1413 offers a plethora of subtle nuances. Each Aszú grape, the most candied and concentrated ones, was picked individually during 3 passes through the vineyard and then macerated in new wine before being pressed and then aged in barrels. This technique, which is unique in the world, allows us to obtain wines that are intensely perfumed, fresh and long-lasting. It opens with an enchanting nose combining notes of apricot, orange, citrus and pineapple, with a touch of honey and wild flowers. The palate is rich, precise, round and creamy with a fresh and natural acidity that balances the whole beautifully. Ample and long lasting, it is a very harmonious wine. A wine to be served chilled between 10 and 12°, with foie gras, a lightly spiced cuisine or blue-veined cheeses, a dessert with exotic fruits. Rated 92/100 by the Committee. |

Hand harvested grain by grain. Maceration of the Aszu grapes for several hours, we then obtain an "Aszu paste" that we filter and that we put in oak barrels. Aging in oak barrels of 225 liters for 24 months. |
