László Mészáros makes this late harvest wine from mainly botrytised Furmint grapes (along with 6% Zéta and 6% Hárslevelű), which have shrivelled to around half of their original volume. Termed Késói Szüretelésú in Hungarian, there is no berry-by-berry selection here as there is for Aszú wines. Instead, selected bunches of botrytised clusters and part-clusters were harvested and then macerated for a short period before being pressed. The wine was racked into used French oak (including barrels from Disznókő's sister property, Château Suduiraut in Sauternes), where it matured for six months.

Reviews

"An off-dry version, lightly sweet and mouthwatering, with pure peach, candied ginger and pie crust flavors. Silky and well-balanced, with fragrant hints of lemon wax and dried mint on the finish. Furmint, Hárslevelü and Zéta."
