- Aging
- We took high-quality Aszú berries with good structure and perfect botrytis and let them macerate in fermenting must for two days. Then, we pressed the berries and let the wine finish fermenting. Next, we filled the wine into 300 and 500 litre Hungarian oak casks and stored them in our deep, underground cellars for over two years. Finally, in the spring of 2020, we carefully crafted the final blends.

"Restrained, poised and elegant, with intense orange and lemon, and the most delicate of caramel aromas. Layers of fresh apricot and peach dominate the palate, balanced with searing acidity, while two years of ageing in 300-litre and 500-litre oak frames the wine. It's delightful now but should age spectacularly.."
