BETSEK – 1ST GROWTH TOKAJI ASZÚ 6 PUTTONYOS 2008

A very mild winter was followed by rain from spring until early summer. In August the weather changed dramatically. September was cool and wet again, delaying ripening. A lovely and very long Indian summer from the beginning of October turned a good vintage into a great one. The miraculous weather provided perfect conditions for developing Aszú berries and the harvest was of unmatched quality. Perfect Aszú berries are individually cut from the bunches hanging on the vines with scissors. These raisined grapes from each individual vineyard were macerated with dry base wines for up to 48 hours and then transferred into old Hungarian oak barrels for fermentation and ageing. After 2 years in our cellars, barrels were selected for blending and bottling as Single Vineyard Aszú wines. The remaining barrels form the blend for Royal Tokaji Gold Label.

Almond, marzipan, red-currant and ripe greengage on the nose. The almond and ripe greengage continue on the palate with great acidity for the acid structure, which is typical of young Betsek. The finish is very clean and long with lovely vivid acidity.
