Château Dereszla, Henye Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos, - 50cl 2017
Many of the world's great sweet whites come from Tokaj in Hungary, which for centuries was known as the "Wine of Kings, King of Wines". Château Dereszla is one of the region's most iconic producers and their Henye Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos 2017, crafted from carefully selected botrytized grapes, showcases the exceptional terroir of the Henye vineyard. Puttonyos refers to the amount of residual sugar in the wine - the higher the better, ranging from 3 to 6 - though this is extra special, having been made from the revered Aszu grapes, reserved only for the greatest Tokaji, including the famous "Tokaji Eszencia". Expect an intricate bouquet of dried apricots, honey, and delicate floral notes, with a balanced acidity that complements its rich sweetness. This would pair beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, or fruity desserts.
TOKAJI ASZÚ 5 PUTTONYOS Disznókő 2014
The 2014 Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos undergoes 75% maceration with Aszú berries for half a day and is aged for 18 months in oak barrels. This has a very focused and more complex bouquet than the 2015. It's pure and conveys a greater sense of energy. The palate is medium-bodied with an engaging entry, sensual and vibrant. It displays an orange rind, mango and honey mixture, and the acidity effortlessly cuts through on the finish. It is one of the best vintages for the 5 Puttonyos, and comes highly recommended.
