The 2021 vintage combined noble botrytis with naturally high acidity, producing a sweet wine of freshness and balance rather than simple richness. With 109 g\/L residual sugar, expressive orchard and tropical fruit, and a lively acid backbone, it offers an approachable expression of Tokaj's celebrated sweet-wine tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2021 was an excellent vintage for sweet wines in Tokaj. Budbreak, flowering and ripening occurred later than usual. Following an extremely hot and dry June and July, cooler conditions through August and September helped preserve acidity. Botrytis arrived relatively late and developed slowly and steadily, producing healthy, concentrated grapes with good acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEntirely botrytised bunches and selected portions of bunches were carefully harvested from some of the best sites of the Disznókő vineyard on 22 October and 23 November.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost grapes were whole-bunch pressed without destemming, followed by fermentation in stainless steel vats. Individual batches were matured for approximately eight months in previously used oak barrels in the traditional underground cellars of Tokaj. After blending, the wine was held in stainless steel until bottling in May 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Light golden robe. Fresh fruity nose with pear, greengage, pineapple and citruses aromas.
