SZT. TAMÁS – 1ST GROWTH TOKAJI ASZÚ 6 PUTTONYOS 2013

Szt. Tamás is one of the most expensive vineyard hills in its commune. Soil: rich clay and very characteristic reddish minerals. This wine is concentrated with big structure, elegant and graceful with a nose of orange peel mixed with honey. Lively acidity provides backbone and balance with intense richness and depth. Superb now with the promise of great longevity. A true volcanic wine.

2013 was a perfect vintage with miraculous weather, perfect conditions during autumn for the development of Aszú, misty mornings, warm drying winds blowing across the Great Plain of Hungary and sweeping the mists up into the vineyards.
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 almost two years cask maturation in Royal Tokaji’s extensive, deep underground cellars.
Enjoy at this young age or cellar for future enjoyment as the wine matures. Sip on its own as an aperitif, serve with fruit based desserts or hard cheeses or enjoy this mouth watering wine on its own instead of a dessert. Serving temperature 10˚ – 13˚C.
