Product Information
With the vivacious acidity balancing the sweetness, Disznókő Tokaji Aszú 5 puttonyos can be savoured on its own, instead of dessert, at the end of the meal or chilled as a refreshing aperitif or with canapés, pâtés, foie gras. Also excellent with a wide range of dishes such as poultry, white meat with creamy sauces, mushroom or seafood risotto. East Asian, slightly spicy dishes such as Thai green curry chicken. With younger, not too salty blue cheeses, simply with some fruits (apricot, pears or fruit salads) or fruit-based desserts (e.g. apricot tart, fruit cake, mandarin sorbet).
Disznókő Tokaji Aszú 5 puttonyos is especially good with mature blue cheese or with fruits or fruity desserts.
Ready to drink but with an important ageing potential (for 20 years or more). To enjoy the finest nuances, Disznókő Tokaji Aszú 5 puttonyos is best served cool (11-13°C). After opening, it retains its freshness for at least a week in the fridge.
Golden dress. Intense floral nose with notes of apricot, plums, nectarine. Its structure is ample with a nice rounded acidity and aromas of citrus.
Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week

Other Information
The grapes for this blend hail from the Montagne de Reims (Pinot Noir) and the Côte des Blancs (Chardonnay). All the grapes are pressed and vinified at Deutz’s state of the art winery in Aÿ, to give a clean white base wine. The blend gains its rosé colour from the addition of red wine (around 8%), made from Pinot Noir grown in the Meurtet vineyard on the hill directly behind the winery. This non-vintage blend traditionally has between 25% - 40% reserve wines. Upon assemblage, it spends 3 years ageing on the lees, and a further 6 months following dégorgement before release.
