Excellent quality Aszú berries with good structure and perfect botrytis were macerated in fermenting must for two days. After pressing and fermentation the wines had a perfect balance. They were transferred into 300 litre second or third fill Hungarian oak casks for two years cask maturation in Royal Tokaji’s extensive, deep underground cellars.
Enjoy this wine on its own instead of a dessert.
Serving temperature 10˚ – 13˚C.
BIRSALMÁS – TOKAJI ASZÚ 6 PUTTONYOS 2008
The Birsalmás vineyard is situated on an East facing slope up, and is dominated by Hárslevelú, which gives it a lot of its charm and flavours.
Rich on the nose and the palate with plenty of spices and some mushroom. A lovely full bodied wine with a gentle warmth on the palate.
