Disznókő, Tokaji Late Harvest, Mad, Hungary [90g/l RS] (50cl.), 2020

Producer Profile

A First Growth since 1732 and part of the World Heritage Site of Tokaj declared in 2002, the 104 hectares of Disznókő vineyards have always been sought-after due to their supreme quality.

Once owned by influential aristocratic families and then nationalised, the estate has been under the ownership of AXA Millésimes since 2002. With its expertise and experience in Aszú winemaking, Disznókő is recognized today as being in the forefront of the renaissance of these truly great Tokaji wines.

Viticulture

Bunches or part of clusters containing intensely botrytised grapes were selected between 20th October and 10th November.

Winemaking

The clusters were pressed directly, without destemming. Most of the juice was fermented in stainless steel vats, the rest in small oak barrels. The wine was aged for 12 months in oak barrels.

Tasting Note

Yellow-gold colour. Intense citrusy nose with candied lemon, fresh apricot and honey aromas. The palate is fresh with crisp acidity and pleasant creamy texture. It has a good length, with fresh, spicy finish.

Food Matching

Perfect aperitif alone or with appetisers, chilled in summer on the terrace. Great with nibbles like prosciutto, olives, sun-dried tomato, pâté on toast.
