A WINE FOR SPECIAL CELEBRATIONS

NEW VINTAGE OF DISZNÓKŐ’S TOP ASZÚ DEBUTS IN PARIS AND BUDAPEST

In 2022, Disznókő Estate in the Tokaj wine region in northeastern Hungary celebrated its 30th anniversary. To commemorate the dream brought to life by Axa Millésimes and the winery's achievements to date, they have created a wine that best showcases the unparalleled potential of this exceptional site, while also being the perfect expression of the quality and style of the winery, characterized by a strong mineral character and dazzling freshness.

The one from 2017 is the fifth vintage of ‘Disznókő Kapi Vineyard Tokaji 6 Puttonyos Aszú’, a wine made only in exceptional years and released in limited quantities. The ‘Kapi Vineyard’ is a premier grand cru vineyard located in the upper third of the southern-facing Kapi vineyard of Disznókő, at an altitude of 150-180 meters above sea level with great potential to produce exquisite aszú grapes. The wines coming from this vineyard are characterized by a lively palate, moderate sugar levels, relatively high acidity, and a spicy, mineral finish.

For special celebrations

The Disznókő Kapi Vineyard 6 Puttonyos Tokaji Aszú is made only in vintages when the quality of the grapes is outstanding, and the shriveled berries harvested in this vineyard produce an exceptionally clean, structured, fresh, long aszú. No wonder that Kapi is widely considered as a wine for special celebrations. Made exclusively from the finest Furmint aszú grapes and base must, this wine is characterized by a telltale golden color and a nose reminiscent of white flowers, acacia and tropical fruits. The palate is vibrant and rich, at once lively and silky, concentrated and airy. It is a creamy and full-bodied wine, with a great structure and an exciting, spicy finish.

International debut in Paris

The international debut of the Disznókő Kapi Vineyard 6 Puttonyos Tokaji Aszú 2017 took place at the end of 2022 at the Michelinstarred restaurant Divellec in Paris, as part of a wine tasting lunch. The domestic launch took place in the Queen Elisabeth Ballroom of the Gundel Palace, where not only the ‘Disznókő Kapi Vineyard 6 Puttonyos Tokaji Aszú 2017’ was presented, but also the VPTS 2017, the successor to the discontinued Aszú Eszencia.
