Király Aszú

The most special wine of the wine region is made only in outstanding vintages. Aszú is the prestigious product of Tokaj-Hegyalja, the top of the product pyramid, therefore we make it only with the highest possible content. 2013 was the first vintage in the history of Demetervin, when everything was together to complete our vineyard-selected furmint aszú plantations in the historic first-class (grand cru) Király vineyard.

Aszú making is the most labor-intensive winemaking process in the world, with botrytis – aszú – berries picked by hand during the autumn. After soaking in the fermenting szamorodni and then gentle pressing, it ferments for a very long time in Zemplén oak barrels. Due to the slow fermentation, the barrel contact is relatively long, 2 years. In terms of content values, our goal is the maximum possible during the selection, as it is the most labor-intensive and expensive preparation in the world, but it is also the number one natural sweet wine.

After reaching the maximum natural possible levels in laboratory datas of the category,tThe uniqueness of uncompromising production can only be raised to top in one way: by single variety (100% furmint) and single vineyard. The furmint aszú of the Király vineyard from Demetervin is indeed a rarity.
