2002
DISZNÓKŐ TOKAJI ASZÚ 6 PUTTONYOS

The Disznókő personality of the vintage

“The key word for the 2002 vintage is precision, like an archer aiming from afar but reaching target with accuracy and agility. The wines have a very aromatic and soft attack, followed by a wonderful mouthwatering freshness.”

The vintage conditions at Disznókő and the influence on the wines

“Although the 2002 vintage is not reputed as being great in Tokaj in general, it is particularly outstanding at Disznókő. For me, the vintage is clearly reminiscent of the classic years, like 1999. Dry, warm and sunny weather in September resulted in perfect shrivelling. We worked in the vineyard with excellent timing and selected most of the aszú grapes affected by Botrytis in late September and early October. Their fruity and spicy wines exemplify a supreme balance between sugar and acidity, the sweet and the tangy.”
