DESCRIPTION
Holdvölgy Culture Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos 2013 is crafted from premium botrytized Furmint and Hárslevelű grapes, harvested from the finest plots of the Tokaj terroir. Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels. Residual sugar: 191.3 g/L, total acidity: 7.4 g/L, alcohol: 11%. The 2013 vintage stands out for its richness and balance. Founded in 2004 by Pascal Demko, the Holdvölgy estate spans 28 hectares across seven crus in Mád, at the heart of Tokaj. Renowned for its commitment to excellence, it offers a diverse range of wines, from vibrant dry whites to exceptional sweet wines, highlighting the richness of the volcanic soils. The aging cellar dates back to the 14th century and is one of the longest in the region. The estate also offers a modern and accessible range, 'Hold and Hollo', which captivates with its young, fresh, and dynamic style.
On the nose, it reveals pineapple, coconut, and a subtle touch of mint. On the palate, its generous body unveils a smooth texture and a complexity that slowly unfolds over time. It pairs beautifully with pan-seared foie gras, a Christmas yule log, panettone, or chocolate truffles. Serve between 10°C and 12°C. Aging potential: 15 to 20 years.
REGION
Tokaj
Hungary
Tokaj, a wine region listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, lies two and a half hours from Budapest in northeast Hungary. This land brings together precious elements for growing grapes: a microclimate, volcanic soil and a little known fungus, botrytis, or noble rot. It turns overripe grapes into shrivelled berries and is key to making the sweet wines of the region, called aszú. With their concentrated aromas and sugars, these are the flagship of Tokaj. The region also adds dry Furmint and Tokaji Eszencia to its list of white wines.

A bottle that is beginning to develop a magnificent complexity, with notes of honey, candied citrus, and very deep exotic flavors.
