And another delicious dessert wine from Château Dereszla. This Aszú 6 Puttonyos is a sweet blend of the Furmint, Zeta, and Hárslevelű grapes from the Tokaj region. The grapes are dehydrated by noble rot, or botrytis, which gives the wine a honeyed or medicinal flavor.

The vineyards of Chateau Dereszla

In the heart of Hungary's legendary Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region lies Château Dereszla, founded in the 18th century. It boasts one of the richest histories, dating back to the early 15th century. At that time, this winery belonged to the Hungarian Royal Family. Today, the winery owns sixty hectares of vineyards, most of which are situated on a narrow plateau 475 meters above sea level. The soil is of volcanic origin and contains high concentrations of loam and iron. This is precisely what gives the wines their distinctive flavor. In addition to the exquisite sweet wines, the estate also produces a number of excellent dry whites. Château Dereszla Aszú 6 Puttonyos is made with Aszú berries, which are affected by noble rot, a vine disease that causes the grapes to dry out, resulting in a naturally high concentration of sugars that maintain the fruit's acidity. These noble berries are harvested by hand, and the fine must is fermented under controlled temperatures. The resulting wine is aged for three years in Hungarian oak barrels.

Enjoy the Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos

A puttonyo refers to the amount of bottled grapes used to make traditional Tokay wines. This measurement is derived from the capacity of a basket used to collect the bunches and is approximately 25 kg. Furthermore, the number of puttonyos used also refers to the amount of sugar in the wine, which can range from 3 puttonyos (less sweet) to 6 puttonyos (sweeter). This Tokaji Aszu has a beautiful light gold color with aromas and flavors of honey, apricot, toasted wood, golden raisins, and Toblerone caramel. It boasts medium sweetness and acidity, excellent structure, and a long finish.
