Characteristics of the vintage
Great vintage for liquoreux wines. The budbreak, flowering and ripening were later than usual. After an extremely hot and dry June and July, August and September were cool helping to preserve a lot of acidity in the grapes. The botrytis arrived relatively late and developed slowly but steadily in a very noble way resulting in healthy, rich grapes with good acidity.
Harvest
Careful selection of entirely botrytised clusters or part of clusters from the best sites of Disznókő vineyard on the 22nd of October and the 23rd of November.
Vinification
Most of the grapes were full bunch pressed without destemming. Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats.
Blend
100% Furmint
Maturing
The different batches were aged for about 8 months in oak barrels of two-three wines in the traditional underground cellars of Tokaj. After blending, the wine was kept in stainless steel vats until bottling in May 2024.
Tasting notes
Light golden robe. Fresh fruity nose with pear, greengage, pineapple and citruses aromas. The palate is fresh and juicy, medium bodied with great acidity and a hint of elegant bitterness.
László Mészáros - Director - October 2024Serving
To enjoy Disznókő Tokaji Late Harvest to its fullest, serve cool (11-13°C). After opening, it can be kept in the fridge for two weeks.
Serving
Perfect aperitif both alone or with appetizers, chilled in summer on the terrace. Great with nibbles like prosciutto, olives, sun-dried tomato, pâté on toast, with main courses of seafood, fish, chicken and lightly-spiced dishes, goat cheese and fruit-based desserts.
Ready to drink from the moment of bottling and for the next five years.
