Aszu 3 Puttonyos 500ml - Sweet Wine

Aszu 3 Puttonyos 500ml - Sweet Wine, from Tokaj Oremus, is one of the great sweet wines of Tokaj, a historic region classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Produced only in exceptional years, it is made from Furmint, Zéta and Muscat à Petits Grains grapes affected by noble rot, Botrytis cinerea, an essential condition to achieve the concentration and complexity that distinguish this legendary style.

Made according to the centuries-old Tokaj tradition, this wine results from the addition of 3 puttonyos of noble Aszú berries to the must of a 136-liter barrel. The berries macerate for a few days before pressing, followed by fermentation in wooden barrels that can last up to two months. Aging then takes place for 2 to 3 years in centuries-old underground cellars, with an additional year of refinement in the bottle.

It has a golden color and a rich aromatic profile, with notes of pineapple, apricot, honey and subtle hints of aging. On the palate it is elegant, fresh and vibrant, with a marked acidity that balances the sweetness and gives it a velvety texture. Serve at 8ºC. Ideal with foie gras, intense cheeses such as Cabrales or Roquefort, and also to accompany desserts.
