Sweet and Natural: our heritage which has to be collected. In order to collect overripe grapes (aszú), harvesters screen vineyards in Hegyalja up to three-four times each autumn. The essence of the world-famous sweet dessert wine, the aszú, is the overripe grape, which is collected one by one. Every valuable component of the grape is concentrated in the botrytis: natural sugar, acid, tannin and aromatic substances are providing the basis of this sweet wine.
Wine tasting: late-harvest wines and sweet wine specialties of Tokaj are available at the Disznókő Vineyard and at the Patrícius Wine House. Participants must register in advance!
