1998
DISZNÓKŐ TOKAJI ASZÚ 5 PUTTONYOS

The Disznókő personality of the vintage

“Imagine swimming in the warm sea by the lemon groves of the Mediterranean. The wines of 1998 show both elegance and balance. This is a vintage with minerality supporting its botrytis & citrusy character.”

The vintage conditions at Disznókő and the influence on the wines

“1998 was a challenging vintage, and the grapes ripened exceedingly late. The weather conditions were rather difficult: a lot of rain and little sunshine, a bit like the 2001 and 2004 vintages. It is a vintage that made us think and act differently: a vintage that posed new questions, teasing us to find fresh ideas and new approaches. The wines we made offer very pure fruit as well as a lovely balance between richness and acidity.”
