ROYAL TOKAJI BETSEK HÁRSLEVELŰ 2020

The crescent moon-shaped Betsek Single Vineyard is situated at the heart of the Mád basin. The soil is rich, dark clay with a good water table. Our Betsek Hárslevelű is an elegant wine with volcanic structure on the palate and fruitiness complemented by a hint of oak. Rich nose with notes of peach and spices, well integrated acidity with fresh fruit and a long mineral finish.

Other Vintages

The vintage started with good conditions but rain during flowering reduced volumes considerably. Summer was hot, particularly in August, with above average rainfall but September was largely dry and we picked in good conditions at the end of the month. The vintage gave classic, structured wines with firm acidity and medium body with considerable ageing potential.

Hárslevelű grapes were harvested at the end of September. Whole bunches were pressed and fermented in new Zemplén oak barrels. After fermentation, we matured the wine for eight months in 300 litre barrels.

A superb companion to white meats, veal, and pork dishes. Serve cool and enjoy with your main course.
