Paangold Tokaji Aszú 5 p 2007

During wine production we combine tradition with modern technology. During Aszu production the „mother – son” grape is harvested from the same vineyard. We use must from the same grape where the shrivelled and botrytised berries are coming from. All aszú wines are terroir wines. First we produce the must then with a special crusher we finely torn the skin of the aszu berries – during procedure the seeds do not crushed – . 24 hours maceration, then taking all the seeds with a filter from the top. Controlled fermentation in stainless steel tank. After fining and filtering 2 weeks slow fermentation in barrel. We age the wine in 25-30 years old 250 litre barrels for 11 years. Every year we take off wine from the barrel, wash them and put them back until bottling.

COLOUR: Medium amber

AROMA: Intense, evolving aroma. Opens with strong honey and yellow flowery scents, followed by an ample dried apricot, dried fruit, mandarin, toasted nuts, and a touch of bread crust.

FLAVOUR: The lively, high acidity gives the wine freshness in spite of the copious amount of residual sugar. Compared to the previous wines, the body is clearly fuller, the texture is denser. On the palate, its strong honey flavour is compensated by the tart citrusy notes of high acidity. These are accompanied by mandarin, dried apricot, mango, the toasted nuts of barrel maturation, and stoney minerality. Nice and long finish.

Alcohol: 11,0 % vol

Residual sugar: 122,4 g/l
