Tasting Note
Luminous amber with honeyed apricot, orange marmalade, quince and dried pineapple; vanilla, toasted nuts and spice. Velvety sweetness is lifted by bright citrus acidity and stony minerality, finishing long with caramel and honeyed notes.

Food Pairing
Foie gras, blue or aged cheeses (Roquefort), apricot tart, crème brûlée, tarte Tatin, smoked salmon, seared scallops, duck à l'orange; spicy East Asian dishes (Thai, Szechuan), Peking duck, coconut curries, almond or honey‑based desserts.

Production Method
Hand‑harvested, berry‑by‑berry aszú selection; macerated in fermenting must (48–60 hrs), pressed, fermented in stainless steel, then aged ~2 years in 225L oak (≈25% new) before bottling.
