2008

2008 reminds me of a market in India where the fragrances of thousands of spices waft through the air, intermingling. The vintage gave us multi-dimensional wines with spicy aromas and a lovely acidity. Like a patchwork of flavours and colours. These elegant and rich Aszú wines with a creamy texture offer exceptional variety of scents.

It’s a wonderful vintage as everything was perfect that year: an abundant harvest of soft botrytised grapes with a shimmering rainbow of tastes from spice to honey, tropical fruits to citrus. The long autumn often brought us misty mornings followed by sunshine. From October this high humidity was perfect for the development of Botrytis. I remember walking through the vineyard and I could almost see how the grapes were thriving and developing in the most perfect way.
