Wine Information

80% Furmint and 20% Hárslevelű from the Danczka, Lapis, Becsek, and Percze vineyards with volcanic soils such as white rhyolite tuff. Harvested in September 2012. A 6 Puttonyos is made from six 22-kilo barrels of noble-rot grapes that are added to 136.5 liters of base wine. After 28 months of aging in 5-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels, a 6 Puttonyos matures for at least another six years before being released. It was filled with 10% alcohol, 207 grams of residual sugar, and 9.3 grams of acidity.

Colour

orange to amber

Nose

The Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos not only appears young and intense in colour, but also in its aroma. Linden blossoms and orange blossoms are the most intense markers here, underscored by mint, smoke, and saffron. Added to this are candied ginger, orange peel, a little pineapple, soft apricots, pears, and quince, as well as a touch of honey, oak, and rock candy. It is wonderfully dense and captivating.

Palate

On the palate, the Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos has the perfect balance of density, creaminess, and acidity. It is highly elegant, complex, and lively, with plenty of stone fruit in fresh and dried form, ginger and saffron, black tea, and caramel. The juicy bitter orange stands out, reminiscent of Old English marmalade with dark sugar. Everything is just right in the finish: the length, the glistening acidity, the elegant sweetness, the tartness and bitterness. All of this combined will ensure that this Tokaji will last for decades, continuing to grow in complexity.
