Dereszla Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos

The ultimate expression of Tokaj's liquid gold.

The 6 Puttonyos represents the most concentrated and intricate interpretation of Tokaji Aszú - comprised of six baskets of hand-picked botrytised berries per 136 liters of base wine, resulting in a wine of nearly overwhelming richness and complexity. This wine is only crafted in exceptional vintages when the noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) perfectly develops on the Furmint and Hárslevelű grapes, making the 6 Puttonyos an ideal choice for special occasions and dedicated collectors. The 2017 vintage, arising from a year of remarkable botrytis development, is hailed as one of the very best in recent history.

Château Dereszla stands as one of the most prestigious estates in Tokaj, nestled in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region. The chateau's cellars, carved deep into volcanic tuff, create ideal conditions for the slow maturation of Aszú wines.

{'appearance': 'Deep amber-gold, nearly mahogany at the rim - a wine of remarkable concentration', 'nose': 'Intensely layered - dried apricot, orange marmalade, honey, toffee, roasted nuts, and exotic spices, featuring a unique oxidative complexity from prolonged barrel aging', 'palate': 'Incredibly rich and concentrated, yet balanced by the sharp acidity that defines Tokaj. Notes of dried fruit, honey, caramel, and exotic spices, with a texture that is almost syrupy', 'finish': 'Seemingly infinite - a finish that develops for minutes, fueled by acidity and dense fruit, leaving an impression of honey, spice, and mineral.'}
