Bott Pince Tokaji Aszú 2019

Winemaker Judit Bott described the 2019 vintage thusly

"Vintage of 2019 makes me think always the same: I wish we had such a year many times! The weather was warm, the summer rain arrived in a hectic way, often at a flood-like speed. Since we had enough time, harvest activities could be well organised. We managed to collect beautiful aszú berries, so our cellar hides now one barrel each of sweet szamorodni and 6 puttonyos aszú."

We may well share her wish for more vintages like 2019, because the extra time and attention they put into their harvest has yielded a Szamorodni and Tokaji Aszú worth revisiting again and again. These wines are enormously complex and lovely, and are only just beginning to reveal the mysteries of their maturity.
