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
The Tokaj wine region is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site and
is only a 2h30 drive north-east of Budapest in Hungary.
This is the land of milk and honey for viticulture. A microclimate, a volcanic soil, and a little mushroom called botrytis, also known as “noble rot” all contribute to making Tokaj a fruitful location. The noble rot shrivels the ripe grapes, thus creating Aszú, the famous sweet wines of the region. These wines, filled to the brim with sweet and concentrated aromas, are the flagship product of Tokaj. In addition to Aszú, Furmint Dry and Tokaji Eszencia are also a must-try.
Recommended for you:
A bottle that is beginning to develop a magnificent complexity, with notes of honey, candied citrus, and very deep exotic flavors.
