Béres Tokaji Diókút Hárslevelű
A firm Hárslevelű with a cool character from the Diókút vineyard in Erdőbénye. An energetic wine with fresh acidity, light body, notes of apricot, minerality, and green herbs, beautifully integrated with the nuances imparted by the barrel.
Hárslevelű selected from the Diókút vineyard in Erdőbénye. Some of it was harvested earlier, fermented using reductive techniques to preserve the wine’s fruitiness and varietal character. Another part of the harvest was riper, pressed, fermented in barrels, and aged for 3 months. We then blended the wines produced using different methods and continued aging in bottles.
The winter was much milder and drier than average. The spring season brought the rain expected. The temperature was appropriate for the season, but turned extremely hot by the end of May. The temperature during the summer months was as we expected, this was only occasionally interrupted by torrential storms, which caused serious erosion damage. The harvest began on 4 September. The weather during the harvest was extremely favourable, therefore, in addition to the excellent base wines for champagne, exceptionally beautiful Aszú wines were also produced this year.
