Influenced by an unconventional vintage, this wine is a complex and exciting single-vineyard aszú from our historic first-class Szarvas. On this sunny, steep slope of the Tokaj Hill, the volcanic dacite bedrock is covered by loess and the Tisza river also contributes to the harvest of aszú berries.
The uniqueness of this wine, its rich flowery and fruity style is highlighted by the exquisite acidity and fresh juiciness thanks to the cool, rainy weather of 2014. Ripe, zestful and remarkably long.
