Chateau Pajzos Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos

Wine Information

70% Furmint and 30% Zeta. The grapes for the Aszu wines were hand-picked in October and November in 15 passes at an outstanding level of ripeness during sunny, hot and dry days and very cool nights. Pajzos’ Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2009 was aged for three years in 220 liter, Hungarian oak casks, of which 30% were new, followed by three more years in stainless steel tanks. It was then assembled, lightly filtered, and bottled in July 2013. The stunning residual sugar level of 195 grams per liter qualifies the wine to be classified at the 6 Puttonyos level, and it is balanced by 6 grams per liter of acidity. The 2009 vintage’s ideal combination of great ripeness and vibrant acidity is the epitome of the Pajzos house style, and is considered an ideal vintage by the estate. 3,000 bottles made.
