2023 – An excellent vintage

The year 2023 was an excellent vintage, akin to the greatest Tokaji Aszú vintages. It started with a mild winter and spring marked by regular rainfall, followed by a sufficiently warm summer, with unpredictable weather patterns and leading to perfect ripening conditions by mid-September. The result? Very fine, fruity, fresh, and beautifully balanced dry white wines, alongside rich, complex aszús, courtesy of excellent botrytization.

Harvest Process

The harvesting of healthy grapes for our dry white wines took place from September 13 and 22, with special attention paid to leaving the botrytized clusters on the vines. The hand-harvesting and transportation of fully ripe, healthy grapes were done in small 20 kg crates to preserve the quality of the clusters.

Hand-harvesting of fully ripe, healthy clusters took place in small 20 kg crates from September 13 to 22. Different parcels of the vineyard were harvested and vinified separately. The careful selection of healthy grapes ensured the preservation of quality, with special attention paid to leaving botrytized clusters on the vines.

Crafting Freshness into Every Sip

The grapes from each parcel were pressed whole-clustered without destemming, and the juice was left to settle overnight. Subsequently, fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 16-18°C without malolactic fermentation.

The separately vinified Furmint batches were blended in November, and the resulting wine was aged on fine lees in stainless steel tanks until mid-February. Bottled in March 2024, each 750 ml Tokaji bottle is sealed with an elegant, eco-friendly glass cork, ensuring perfect resealing after opening.
