Current condition

Balanced between fresh acidity and developed honeyed botrytis character

The 2013 vintage was very good for Tokaji with balanced ripeness and botrytis development. The 5 Puttonyos level delineates a classic sweetness and body to allow extended cellaring. Its excellent acidity supports decades of aging without losing vibrancy.

Food pairing

Ideal with foie gras, blue cheese, rich desserts (almond cake, apricot tart), or as a contemplative sipping wine.
