The 2014 Aszú 5 Puttonyos comes from a challenging, humid vintage in Tokaj in which noble rot developed early and rigorous selection was required. The resulting wine combines substantial sweetness and concentration with notably high acidity and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing a hot and rainy summer, 2014 proved a complex harvest in Tokaj. High humidity encouraged noble rot across the berries at an early stage, requiring careful selection. Overall production was low, while the proportion suitable for Aszú was high. The vintage produced refreshing, tonic wines with higher-than-usual acidity and notable palate weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntensely botrytised Aszú berries were selected over three passages. Picking began with Zéta on 4 September, followed by Furmint from 18 September, with the third selective picking completed on 29 October. Each Aszú berry was individually picked and stored in stainless steel vats before vinification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 75% of the Aszú berries were macerated in finished wine for half a day, while the most shrivelled berries were soaked in heavily fermenting must for two days with several pump-overs. After pressing, fermentation took place in stainless steel vats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine was matured for 18 months in 225-litre oak barrels, predominantly barrels from several previous vintages, and was bottled in August 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Golden colour. The nose has intense botrytis character with spicy, aromatic herb like dill, citrusy, fresh plum, mint aromas. Very fresh on the palate, with high acidity, but also a rich, powerful wine with good presence in the mouth and with very good length.” — László Mészáros, Director, Disznoko. \u003cem\u003eReviewed November 2017\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 — Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Ripe yellow peach and delicate floral aromas leap out of each amber-hued pour.
