Meet the Producer

Crafted in the Tokaj region, Tokaji is dedicated to producing premium Asz 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 Asz 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 windsperfect for fine Asz development. The hand-selected Asz 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.
