Awards/Ratings
Frequently scored 93–96 points by critics (Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Robert Parker/Wine Advocate); Disznókő Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos has appeared in Wine Spectator Top 100 lists and earned multiple high-profile vintage scores

Tasting Note
Intense honeyed apricot, orange peel, marmalade and candied citrus with floral honey, saffron and toasted almond notes. Lush and unctuous yet brightened by steely lemony acidity and a very long, spicy finish.

Food Pairing
Western: foie gras, blue cheese (Roquefort), almond tart, crème brûlée. Asian: Peking duck with plum sauce, Thai mango sticky rice, mildly spiced Szechuan desserts.

Production Method
Traditional Tokaji Aszú: individually harvested botrytised berries (aszú) added to must in puttonyos measure, macerated, pressed, fermented slowly and aged in oak (Gönci) barrels for typically ~2 years.

Vineyard Info
Disznókő is a historic first-growth Tokaj estate (classified 1772), revived in the modern era and renowned for precision-made Aszú wines from steep single vineyards.
