Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos, 2016

Description

Its aroma, besides dried apricots, carries honey-like notes, with the appearance of beeswax. Apricots return in flavour as well, but dried melons and mangoes are also strongly present. The wine has a very nice acid-sugar balance, providing a long finish to enjoy after the sip.

Vineyard

Mezőzombor - Galambos vineyard The soil is typically brown forest soil, but there are loess spots in it. The subsoil is rhyolite, which is almost completely covered with rhyolite tuff. Tarcal - Terézia vineyard The soil is an optimal blend of loess and brown forest soil, which has similar subsoil to Galambos, but it rests on a perlite cone.

The vineyards were replanted between 1999 and 2010, using 1,8 m and 2 m row spacing and 0,8 m between the vines according to the modern grape growing technology. We use 2 bud spur-pruning and the yield control is 1,5 kg / vine. All of our vineyards are under organic cultivation since 2009.
