Description
Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos is a masterful Hungarian dessert wine, celebrated for its intensity, complexity, and ageing potential.

It strikes a perfect balance between richness, crisp acidity, and structure.
Meet the Producer
Crafted in the Tokaj region, Tokaji is dedicated to producing premium Aszú wines that showcase the unique terroir and centuries-old winemaking tradition of Hungary. The estate combines meticulous vineyard management with careful cellar practices to produce wines of exceptional depth and finesse.
Production
The 2017 vintage began with a hot summer, prompting the Aszú berry harvest to start in early September. Harvesting continued steadily under ideal autumn conditions, with October providing three weeks of early morning mists, warm sunshine, and drying winds—perfect for fine Aszú development. The hand-selected Aszú berries, rich in botrytis and flavour, were macerated in fermenting must for two days before pressing. The wine then completed fermentation and was matured for over two years in 300L and 500L Hungarian oak casks in deep underground cellars. The final blends were crafted in spring 2020.
Tasting Notes
Golden in colour, it exhibits an intense bouquet of ripe white peach, plum, and delicate spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet lively, with harmonious acidity, layered fruit, and a long, lingering finish. The wine’s structure and botrytis richness make it ideal for long-term cellaring.
Food Pairing
Enjoy as a luxurious aperitif, with fruit-based desserts, rich pastries, or hard cheeses. It can also be savoured on its own as a decadent treat.
