2019 | Disznoko | Late Harvest

The wine has an attractive bright straw colour with a golden sheen. The nose is opulent and exuberant with flattering notes of pineapple, kumquat, q touch of ripe yellow mango, orange rind and a typical Furmint smoky note in the echo. The palate is luscious, rich with refreshing acidity, creamy, still very elegant texture, notes of candied mandarins and dried apricots, a nice bitter touch of lemon zest on the finish.

Reviews:

• Wilfred Wong: The 2019 Disznoko Tokaji Late Harvest, made primarily from botrytized Furmint grapes, is an attractive sweet wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of honey, pineapple, and apricots. Serve it with apple desserts.

Producer Information

Tokaj is thought to be the first vineyard region in the world to have adopted a classification system. The Disznóko estate was classified as a first growth property at the time of the initial classification in 1772 and remains so today.The Disznóko estate consists of a single tract of land that spread over 250 acres at the south-west entrance of the Tokaj region. Four of the approved noble grape varieties are planted in this single vineyard – Furmint, Harslevelu, Zeta and Sagamuskotaly.The estate is essentially a hill of volcanic clay soil with perlite pebbles: at the top of the hill is the boar-shaped rock from which the estate takes its name, and the vineyards are arranged down the southern slope, with the winery at the bottom of the slopes. The vineyard is protected by the cold northern winds by the Zemplén hills right behind it, and draws light and heat from its southerly exposure. Acclaimed as one of the three most favorable sites of Aszu in Tokaj. Morning autumn mists and warm breezes ensure optimal conditions for noble rot. The Botrytis develops, concentrating the natural sugars, flavors and acids in the grapes. The wines gain their fire from the mineral-rich volcanic land, rhyolite-tuff with clay soils.
