Nose: It feels clearly fresh
tropical fruits aromas, peach and almond. You can also feel a floral touch of
acacia, which give a great complexity.

mineral and very balanced. Honeyed fruits, mango, peach with a touch of quince.
Botrytis is magnificently present and refined. The finish is very concentrate, with
a great length.

With a good “Foie Gras” of course, It’s gonna be the best wine pairing ever !

it with a Duck cooked with peaches as main course or a Nectarine and pistachio tart
for dessert.

Tokajbor-Bene Pincészet : TOKAJI ASZU 5 puttonyos
Grape Variety : Furmint
and Harslevelü
Country : Hungary
Terroir : Tokaji Aszu
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Medium deep amber colored wines with copper flashes.
Nose: Hints of botrytis, dried apricot, candied citrus, spices, almond paste and also resin.
Palate: It has a magnificent elegance and balance with a rich aromatic expression. It is characterized by a manifest acidity which brings a side air perfect to offset the richness of the wine. It ends on a very long length with a crystalline freshness.
Our Feeling at WAW blog:
When you are not used to drink Tokaji (Tokay), and particularly Tokaji
Aszu, you can be really surprised because, even if it’s a sweet wine, it definitely
doesn’t taste like a Sauternes! A good Tokaj Aszú is always fresh, with a
perfect balance between sugar, alcohol and acidity. They are rich, powerful and
complex wines with a captivating nose. Their bouquet requires some practice.
So, if you’re a little bit familiar, you will notice the wonderful flavours of
this one and its perfect quality.
Food & Wine
Pairings :
Usually, Tokay may match well with “foie gras”. But the Aszú 5 or 6
puttonyos is a wine with a very long finish, it is better to keep it for
dessert : with sorbet or apricots, gages, or figs tarts, or also with a cake or
a chocolate mousse.
In all cases, it should be served at a temperature of 12-14 ° C.
Where can you find it ? What about € ?
You can order it directly from the vineyard or on the @ with wine
searcher for 25 € on average.
