Holdvölgy Culture Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos 2017 is crafted from botrytized Furmint, Hárslevelű, and Zéta berries, harvested from the best plots of the Tokaj terroir. Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels. Residual sugar 200.4 g/L, total acidity 7.31 g/L, alcohol 12%. Satiny texture with a lively acidity that lends it great freshness. Founded in 2004 by Pascal Demko, the Holdvölgy estate spans 28 hectares spread across seven crus of Mád, in the heart of Tokaj. Renowned for its commitment to excellence, it offers a diverse range extending from vibrant dry wines to exceptional sweet wines, highlighting the richness of 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, melon, supported by notes of stewed apricot, candied lemon zest, and a hint of clove. On the palate, a satiny texture carries a balanced freshness, with a sweet, lingering, and refined finish. It pairs perfectly with pan-seared or mi-cuit foie gras, or yellow fruit tarts such as apricot and peach. Serve between 8 and 10°C. Cellaring potential of 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.
