Vintage: 2000
Varietals: Furmint
Farming: Organic
Fatty and nutty, with flavors of apricot skin and pepper. Rustic, bold, full-bodied Aszú. Notes of grassy herbs and warm spice, fresh mushrooms and damp stone all drawn together in honeyed richness. And at nearly 20 years old, it still feels youthful.
6 Puttonyos Aszú from one of the best Tokaji vintages of the last 30 years. This Aszú was only the second vintage that Géza Lenkey Sr. produced at the family estate, and he tragically passed away before the wine was bottled. Yet this wine made the Lenkey name famous in Hungary, synonymous with the finest Tokaji Aszús available. The soil of the estate is brown forest clay with volcanic minerals and limestone tuff. Spontaneous fermentation, and aging for 3 years in small gönczi barrels. Residual sugar 168 g/L.
