Characteristics of the vintage
Temperatures were high in Tokaj in 2024, which was overall the hottest year on record, and rainfall was average. The combination of heavy rainfall in June and hot weather resulted in high humidity, which led to massive attacks of powdery mildew. Some plots suffered significant losses. July and August were dry and scorching hot, with maximum temperatures regularly exceeding 30 and even 35˚C. Every phenological stage throughout the year occurred earlier than average.
Despite the atypical conditions of 2024, with an early growth cycle in the vineyard and high temperatures, the dry white wines are nonetheless fresh and rich.Harvest
