Disznoko - Tokaji Late Harvest Furmint
László Mészáros makes this late harvest wine from mainly botrytised Furmint grapes (along with 6% Zéta and 6% Hárslevelű), which have shrivelled to around half of their original volume. Termed Késói Szüretelésú in Hungarian, there is no berry-by-berry selection here as there is for Aszú wines. Instead, selected bunches of botrytised clusters and part-clusters were harvested and then macerated for a short period before being pressed. The wine was racked into used French oak (including barrels from Disznókő's sister property, Château Suduiraut in Sauternes), where it matured for six months.
- Style: Dessert Wine
- Varietal: Furmint
- Region: Hungary
- Vintage: 2023
- ABV: 12.5%
- Size: 500ml
