Description

Château Pajzos Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2016

Grape varietal & Region: A blend of 75% Furmint, 25% Harslevelu. The region lies in the middle of Europe, at the northern limits of viticulture with late springs, very hot summers and cold winters. In the autumn it is pleasantly warm during the day, but it can be very cold and misty at nights, making the perfect conditions for the development of Botrytis On this south / southwest-facing land with excellent attributes, brown earth with clay strips mixes with andesite tuff. The ground has excellent heat-retaining properties so grapes ripen beautifully and become supreme aszú berries. This last feature is thanks to the microclimate and Zsadány stream bordering the south of the area which provides the humidity necessary for the development of the Botrytis.

Taste profile: The wine has a pale medium amber colour. It has an Intensive bouquet of dried apricots, honey and meadow flower. A full-bodies Tokaji with a great banace of sweetness and acidity showing complex and layered notes of butterscotch, dried apple, candied orange peel, clove, marzipan, lemon, cardamom, bread. The finish is long and enticing.
