Tokaj

A
  • 2 main rivers: Tizsa and Bodrog rivers that meet and form perfect conditions
  • Svarzas (Deer Hill) and Mezes Maly (Honey Pot) as Great First growths among 74 vineyards
  • Aszu grapes were hand harvested, held in Puttony (baskets) that are 25kg, and put into 136L Goncs. Permitted grapes are: Furmint, Harlesvelu, Sagarmuskatoly, Zeta, Kabar, Koverzsolo
  • In 2013, Modern Tokaji eliminated the Puttonyos system. Now, it is aged 18mths in barrel before being released after a total of 2yrs. It must contain 120g/L of RS with at least 9% alcohol.
  • Producers may still use the phrase “6 Puttonyos” to signify an Aszú wine with 150+ grams/liter of residual sugar. Wines between 120–150 grams/liter of sugar are now labeled as Tokaji Aszú.
  • Esszencia is from a fraction of the 1st batch of fruit, free run juice is slow fermented (decades) to form a wine that is 450g/L of RS
  • Szamorodni(as it comes) is a combination of Aszu (dried) and fresh/healthy berries and is usually made into a slightly oxidative style of wine after maturing for 6 mths. It can be edes (sweet) or szaras (dry).
  • Forditas and Maslas are wines that are made by refermenting wine with the pressed paste and lees from Tokaji Aszu
