In mid-September, when the sugar content of the berries of the furmint and linden-leaved grape varieties reaches 18 must, the low rainfall at that time results in barely visible cracks in the berries. . Through these, the fungus Botrytis cinerea, which creates assimilation, penetrates the berries, and then the next dry, warm weather begins the noble rot in the berries. As a result, chemical and biological phenomena take place: the water evaporates from the berries, the natural sugar content is concentrated, some of the acids are broken down. Asz\u00fa grapes ripen in 10-14 days.<\/p>\n<p>The asz\u00fa is ashy, chocolate-brown on the outside and has a crumbly texture covered with Botrytis cinerea on the surface. It has an indescribable delicate taste and aroma.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5>The first asz\u00fa wine<\/h5>\n<p>According to tradition, the first asz\u00fa of Zsuzsanna Lor\u00e1ntffy was made in \u00dajhely in the 1620s as an Easter surprise, thanks to her court priest, M\u00e1t\u00e9 Szepsi Laczk\u00f3. And all this in the courtyard of the Oremusz vineyard, in the most famous historical vineyard of \u00dajhely, the place of worship of the vineherds. With this, the reverend not only gave his mistress a special Easter gift, he also created the queen of the wines of Hegyalja, which had an impact on the viticulture here: already a parliamentary circular of 1655 made it obligatory to select Asz\u00fa grapes in the Tokaj wine region.<\/p>\n<h5>King of wines, wine of kings<\/h5>\n<p>The wine of Hegyalja dates back to the 17th century. It began its journey of international conquest in a century. XIV. In the court of Louis it was called the king of wines, the wine of kings.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5>Tokaji Asz\u00fa<\/h5>\n<p>At harvest, the asz\u00fa berries are picked one by one from the bunches and then worked in a gentle process that does not damage the grape seeds. The Tokaj asz\u00fa is made with a special unique technology. Hundreds of years of recipe for making asz\u00fa: 1 g\u00f6nc barrel (136 liters) of good quality dry base wine is added 3-4-5-6 puttony of asz\u00fa pasta, which is soaked for 24-48 hours, stirring. During this, the natural sugar content of the asz\u00fa and the flavors dissolve. It is then squeezed and 3-4-5-6 puttony asz\u00fa wine is obtained, depending on the number of putton added.<\/p>\n<p>Minimum maturation time: 3 years[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5>Tokaji Asz\u00fa-Essence<\/h5>\n<p>This wine is also a super quality within the asz\u00fa category, which can no longer be measured with a puttony number. It has a sugar content and a sugar-free extract content of more than 6 puttonyos asz\u00fa. It takes many years for the taste, aroma and flavor to develop.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5>Tokaji Eszencia<\/h5>\n<p>We know this special drink from our national anthem.
