TOKAJI '1413'

2013 Aszú Disznókő

Grapes Furmint, Hárslevelú, Zéta
Colour White
Origin Hungary, Tokaji
Sub-district Tokaji
ABV 13%

A stunning value alternative to the more expensive Puttonyos Tokaji, commemorating the year that the original Disznoko Estate was first recorded. Made from grapes effected by noble rot, this is a cracker of a dessert wine, plenty of rich citrus fruit, with a bright lemon acid and a nice whiff of botrytis, a perfect partner to foie gras, soft cheese or fruit desserts. L&S (Apr 2017)

The barrel-ageing gives balance and complexity to the fruit of this deliciously fresh wine, giving it marvelous flexibility for pairing with many dishes.

  • Our favourite pairings:
  • – outstanding aperitif. Perfect company to foie gras.
  • – sea-fish dishes made with creamy sauces or lemon, duck dishes with fruits and slightly spicy foods.
  • – cheeses.
  • – not over-sweet desserts, fruits.
Winemaker's notes (Oct 2018)

Disznókő

The name Disznókő - the rock of the wild boar - was first recorded in 1413 and refers to a large rock sat atop a small hill overlooking the vineyards. Listed as a "first growth" as far back as 1732, this 150ha vineyard in the south west of the Tokaji region has long been regarded as one of the region's finest.

As with much of Tokaji, Disznókő's fortunes suffered under nationalisation during the Communist era. But, in 1992, it was purchased by AXA Millésimes (owners of Château Pichon Longueville and Quinta do Noval, amongst others) who have reinvigorated Disznókő and put in the love and investment required to return it to the top rank of Tokaji estates.
