Vintus

4 Puttonyos, Tokaj

Made from 60% Furmint, 30% Harslevelu and 10% Zeta, the aszú grapes (shrivelled grapes affected by noble rot and shrivelled on the vine) are collected manually one by one over the course of several vineyard passes in at total of 4 wooden hods of 25 (55 pounds) and poured into a vat of 136 liters of must wine, according to the method established in the 17th century. After a maceration of several hours, the “Aszú dough” obtained is filtered. The collected liquid is then racked into barrels where it ferments slowly before being aged 2 years in oak barrels.
A golden-yellow wine with a crisp, young appearance. It is hamonious and elegant in the mouth, and outside of the fruity fragrances, its aromas remind of acacia flower and spicy citrus. On the palate it is light, fresh and fruity, with notes of apricot, orange and orange skin.
