Disznókö Dorgȯ Vineyard Tokaji Édes Szamorodni 2018 500ml

The top Tokaji house of Disznókö make this delightfully fresh dessert wine from a gently sloping single vineyard site in the south of the region, here the old volcanic clay soils and south east facing aspect give richness and depth to the Furmint,75%, Hárslevelü 15% and Zéta 10% grapes. Selected part bunches of fully botrytised fruit picked in batches between the end of October and mid-November. The bunches are destemmed and crushed, with a long maceration on the skins before a cool fermentation and aged year in old 225lr oak casks. Szamorodni is literally translated as 'as it comes' and can produce off dry to sweet Tokaji's depending how much botrytised grapes are used in the blend - this is a sweet one, so lovely honeyed fruit but more lemony acidity and freshness than a richer more raisiny Aszu. Great value.
